This temple feels as spiritual as Disneyland. I visited it around midday and there were thousands of people walking around, not really knowing what there were supposed to look at. The temple is not as picturesque as you would imagine, but the lake view is alright. The garden around is decorated with ugly concrete statues of cartoon characters (Spongebob etc.), I really wonder who thought this would be a appropriate in a place like this. And to complete the scenery there are of course plenty of souvenir shops inside. As a tourist, I feel slightly ripped off, plus I am embarrassed to be part of this tourist invasion of a holy place. Oh and by the way, if you’re a woman and you’re on your period, you’re not allowed to go in! Nice.

It's really not what it seems. Very small, water usually isn't around the base like in the pictures. We went to munduk, and our perama was going from bedugul so we just wondered down to have a look. You have to pay a lot for not much. If you're in the area, it could be worth stopping in, but do not make an effort to travel up for the temple, it really is a massive disappointment. Lots more beautiful temples in Bali.
