- Upon entering the sacred area (Pura), where at the front gate before entering the hindu temple, there will be announcements for visitors, especially for women during the period of menstruation is strictly forbidden to entering temple.
- If you are going to visit a Hindu temple, you will be required to use a "Sarong" or "Shawl" (usually free available at the front counter when paying entry ticket), and this is a respect atitude for the existence of holy place.
- Not allowed to take pictures using flash on the camera, so try to turn off the camera flash light when taking photos. Especially when you see people praying, so in this case you will not disturb the prayer's situation.
- Another important thing that you should know, if you intend to visit monkey forest (Bali native animals) should always be aware of all your personal items, such as: Sun-Glasses, all jewelries, hats, and other hand bags.
Because unconsciously, it could be quickly taken by the monkey, and if you don't want to feed the monkeys, keep your distance and open your hand. Do not put your hand in the pants pocket when walking in to the monkey forest area,
Because most monkeys will find out, if there is food that you hide in your pocket, pants, or bags.
and it could be the monkeys will jump on your body to find food.
So our advice, always open your hand while walking around as a sign that you are not carrying anything.
and when walking around please always keep the distance, do not get too close to the monkeys.
Oh ya ... don't also made a strong eye contact when the ape animals approach you.
Try not to be panic, just get used to your attitude when passing in front of these monkeys,
This action is the most important, never once in a while to touch the body of monkeys, because monkey is a very sensitive animal, and most likely the monkey will attack you instantly.
Even if you want to take any photos of the monkeys, please try to keep your distance and not get too close to them !.
