Description and is it worth a visit

Temple of Samuang Tiga (Pura Samuan Tiga), Bali

Samuang Tiga Temple

Temple of Samuang Tiga (Pura Samuan Tiga) is one of hundreds of Balinese Hindu temples in the vicinity of Ubud, which at first glance does not stand out in any special way, and could be completely unnoticed. However, this is one of the oldest royal temples, dating back to the X century.

We visited Samuang Tiga and honestly say that despite the deep history, this is not exactly the temple that you should definitely come to. But if you are passing by, or stop for a rest in Ubud and get acquainted with the surroundings of this town, then Samuang Tiga may be one of the points on your route. It is convenient to visit it together with the temple Goa Gajah and the complex Yeh Pulu, which are within walking distance of each other a friend.

The territory of the temple is small, it will take 5-10 minutes to inspect and photograph. To visit, it is necessary to turn around in a sarong, they are offered here at the entrance, but when returning they will ask for donations from 50,000 rupees, which is almost equal to the cost of a sarong, so it's better to buy and come with your own. There is also a "guide" in the temple who conducts a small excursion and then asks for 100,000 rupees for it. If you are not ready to pay so much, it is better to immediately refuse his services.
