Bali, Indonesia is well known for its exquisite beach scenery, for being a romantic destination, and for some of the best relaxation massages and therapies. However on a visit to this enchanting island, it is important that visitors take back with them the feel and experience of the real Bali. What is the real Bali? A visit to the countryside will give you the answer to this question. Bali is blessed with bountiful greenery, which is in the shape of forests, nature reserves, and endless rice paddy fields. The serenity and tranquillity that meets the eye amidst this backdrop is priceless. The Tabanan Regency is set in such a location and the Kukuh village is a perfect example of true Bali lifestyle. The Alas Kedaton is a rich forest reserve a few minutes away from the Kukuh village that is around 12 hectares. This forest is not only beautiful but is also home to the famous temple, popularly known as the Monkey Temple. The Dalem Kahyangan Temple dates back to the megalithic period and is steeped in beliefs of praying to ancestral spirits, and fertility goddesses in the hope that this will bring peace and prosperity to those in the villages. To date, the temple conducts ceremonies to invoke the blessings of these spirits. All these ceremonies take place during the daytime as lighting of a lamp, use of fire or incense is not allowed within the temple. Visitors can therefore freely participate in the ceremony. Visitors to the temple will also be amused by the antics of the many monkeys that inhabit the forest in and around the site. These monkeys are the tamest in the monkey kingdom; however caution is advised as these creatures are known for their mischief and meddlesome ways. Many bats can also be found in the trees of the forest amidst where the temple lies. As the island is an exotic vacation spot there are many luxury villas in Bali to choose from for your stay.
