About Taman Ayun Temple

When you visit Bali, Taman Ayun Temple is a must visit attraction as it holds a supreme position in the development of Balinese culture and tradition. The astounding landmark is in the village of Mengwi in Badung regency. Brilliantly portrayed architecture makes the temple complex separated from other temples in Bali. The traditional architectural nuances can be seen in its courtyards, enclosures and the vast garden landscapes that house lotus and fish ponds.


The construction of the temple was in 1634 by the then ruler, Tjokerda Sakti Blambangan. The Chinese architectural aspects had influenced the construction of this temple as well. Hence in 1937, the temple witnessed a major restoration project.


There are the towering tiers that create the profile of Taman Ayun and the temple complex is considered to be the mother temple of Mengwi. It was meant to serve as the main worship centre for Mengwi people since they were not travelling far to other main temples like Besakih in Karangasem or Batur Temple in Kintamani. Taman Ayung is believed to be the unifying factor of the people and the royal family.


The temple complex possesses expansive landscaped gardens and courtyards. The first courtyard which is large and open is a grassy expanse while the courtyard inside has a number of meru or multi-tiered shrines. Along with them, there are pools filled with pink lotuses and fish. The complex is part of the subak which shows the complex rice field irrigation system.

We have booked our honeymoon through Thrillophilia to Bali and the trip went amazing with everything presorted for us to just enjoy. The villa in Seminyak had a private pool which we practically lived in. What surprised me most was how well the local guide Ketut read what kind of travellers we were. on Day 2 he skipped two tourist spots and took us to a small village ceremony instead that no other tourist was at. That hour was worth more than any itinerary item. The sunset at Tanah Lot with no rush to leave was perfect. I will definelty recommend thrillophilia to my friends.

Went on a full day tour of Bedugul with this package from Thrillophilia. We visited rice terraces, temples and markets. The Ubud art market was an offbeat addition to the itinerary that I really enjoyed. The Ulun Danu Beratan temple was another fantastic visit.

To be honest, I had never heard of Bedugul until I found out this tour on Thrillophilia’s website. It surely made my hectic Bali trip a lot more relaxed. This place has it all, from green fields and hills, to old temples, markets and even traditional restaurants. Highly recommend this package.

As part of our honeymoon, we purchased a package to Bali from Thrillophilia. It was a nice and hassle-free trip with the finest of management conceivable. It is a gorgeous area, with fascinating mountains and tempting beaches. I'd like to travel with the team once again.

Me and my partner will surely book this package again. Thrillophilia outdid itself by including so many things in this package. We enjoyed the water sports, our hotels, visiting the temples and other places during our honeymoon.
