What travellers are saying
- Steven SPattaya, Thailand642 contributionsMostly an easy walk about 2kms to the Karsa Kafe. More of an enjoyable walk than a sightseeing one but there are a few landscape opportunities. It won't be so hot if you go early in the morning or late afternoon.Written 9 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- YogiOnHolidayPortsmouth, UK42 contributionsThis is a very beautiful walk - no more than about 2.5 miles in total. Take it slowly and take in the views, the wildlife - butterflies, ducks, egrets, rice heron, cats etc. Talk to people who live there - maybe a fruit seller, or sarong/drinks seller, and your visit will be enhanced. The way back and down into town is a little tricky unless you are nimble and sure-footed and not recommended in wet weather, but it is do-able. The cafe along the way, the Sweet Orange Warung was a treat, with specialised coffees and warm welcome with gorgeous views. It is easy to do this walk without a guide.Written 29 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ADB000Melbourne, Australia327 contributionsNice and quiet even though it is right on Jalan Raya Ubud across from Monkey Forest Road. It's a good place for a quiet wander and to take some nice pics of the old structures and carvings whilst getting to escape the hustle-bustle and touts on the main street of Ubud. It's free and not too crowded.Written 3 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Jay HSydney, Australia27 contributionsOur driver made the suggestion to stop here as it wasn't something we had considered. My husband and I enjoyed the experience and thought it was interesting. Whilst we purchased some products, we certainly didn't feel pressured to do so. It's a nice stop on the way to Ubud.Written 14 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BASILEA-BALISEARiehen, Basel-Stadt39 contributionsSince I stay with Balinese friends in Bedulu (=Bedahulu village), the Pura Samuan Tiga is more or less "THE TEMPLE" where the family goes for celebrations. This year was a big 12 days celebration from April 17th to 29th with all kind of activities. People from many communities around the Ubud area bring their holy temple symbols (the Rangda costumes and masques, the Barong, the temple shrines and others) to the temple to be blessed. They bring incredibly huge offerings (towers of fruits, rice cakes and decorated with ornaments made from young palm leaves and flowers) which get blessed with holy water by the Hindu priests. The intent sticks and some money on top are for the temple, the beauty of the colors and smells are for the gods, the edible parts are take home again for the family. There are Gamelan orchestras playing, people moving and singing and priests reading from the holy scriptures. Our friend took us for two evenings to the temple (dressed in the usual temple dress: Sarong, Blouse and Selendang for the ladies, Sarong, Shirt, Selendang and Headdress for the males and sandals or flip-flops on the bare feet). On the first afternoon we saw the processions of the different Banjars (communities) arrive with their temple things and circle three times the area of Samuan Tiga. Then there was the run of the ladies (long black skirts, white blouse, red selendang) and men (all in white) around the temple. They hold hands and run in waves symbolizing the waves of the sea. After three rounds the men take from the heaps of discarded decoration and put the dry palm leaves like hats on their heads. After one more round they sit in front of the priests to get blessed and then hit each other with the dry palm leaves. This symbolically drives out all bad thoughts. Now the temple and the people are cleansed and ready for the arrival of the goods. (Physically - in our eyes - the temple is more dirty than ever, rubbish laying around everywhere.) In the evening the school children and some ladies show special dances in beautiful costumes accompanied by Gamelan music. Again, the beauty of the dancers, the dances and the music is mainly for the gods, not necessarily for the onlookers, who talk, eat, come and go and let their children play. It is definitely not a show in our sense. Everybody who wants to look stands or sits crosslegged somewhere on the floor.
If there is no ceremony, the temple is just a big area of stairs, temple shrines, and the huge holy banyan trees. Certainly worth seeing as well, but nothing in comparison to celebration times and preferably guided by somebody who knows about the meanings, like for example our friend, guide and driver I Nyoman Darna from Bedulu.Written 1 May 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jessy WAdelaide, Australia3 contributionsWe visit the place a couple of weeks ago and bought a lot of coffees and teas from their shop, all sugar free, according the labels. But back home, everything taste so sweet, like it's full of sugar, very disappointed, if that's th case...it's misleading and cheatingWritten 25 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Radu BCluj-Napoca, Romania460 contributionsThere is a beautifully preserved rock carving 26m long &2m tall about daily Balinese life: the farmer, animal hunting, women in community. The temple itself is tiny, small and not well maintained. 30k IDR access fee with free sarong included. 500m walk from parking by a nice rice paddies area, but not recommended if is to hot! Kinndly but strong refuse the locals who offer to show you the place, I heard them with a group speaking no English, no history questions answer, but high tip expected. Discover the place by yourself.Written 30 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Margo HNew Brunswick, Canada118 contributionsThis temple was closed but so many people seemed to be going in. We were told that they were rehearsing for a dance performance for later on that week and that it was the first time I. 2 years this was happening. We were told that we could go in and watch rehearsal as ?omg as we wore sarongs. We went in and looked around but didn't stay for rehearsal as I felt funny being the only female among a coup!e hundred men lol. But it was still very kind of them to invite us to watch.

- Constance BRutland, MA190 contributionsDefinitely a great walk through the rice fields. I enjoyed seeing beauty of all the green colors and listening to the water running down culverts for the fields. Maybe took an hour. Had to stop because the trail narrowed and was too muddy.Written 26 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Naga MasDenpasar, Indonesia212 contributionsOn Kunningan day (10th day after Galungan) is a big ceremony in Taman Pule Temple in Mas village. For those of you who wish to experience real Bali culture this is a must for you. After the initial first day (you can see traditional Wayang Wong dance in Temple forecourt) there are procesions of tall offerings each afternoon for three days from different Banyars (Village co-ops so to speak) meeting pavilions. The Temple is alive with many ceremonies and outside there is an array of tents and sellers of cloth, food toys and many other goods ...very busy place...enjoyWritten 9 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- OTIS WHong Kong, China566 contributionsIn April 2016, I spent nearly three hours to see the collection of paintings and sculptures inside the exhibition halls of Museum Puri Lukisan. The gems of Nyoman Lempad were my target. From an introduction of a pamphlet, it indicated that the house of the painter was not far from the museum, but I really did not know the exact location from the map enclosed. Last August, strolling along the road to Ubud market, I found the house accidentally. It was a typical, traditional Balinese architecture, there was a lovely garden with scattered wood carved in the forms of twisting faces. No entrance fee required and no visitor was in sight. To my astonishment, bird cages were lining out of tune under the roof of a well-decorated alter, on the opposite side a commercialized art gallery stood by displaying pictures for sale. Perhaps the house was not a government-run cultural heritage, therefore no systematic maintenance implemented. As a whole, House of Gusti Nyoman Lempad was not a museum for a well-known painter, just an ordinary workshop of a nobody one. Was it true ? I really puzzled.Written 20 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
