You are not allowed in the inner part, but you can easily see into the temple over the wall. Cheapest of all temples we have been in so far. The most beautiful views are from the outside. You can easily do it in under an hour.

Surrounded by moats on three sides and a green wood on the back, Taman Ayum is really a nice place to visit even on hot days. A well maintained place, it is good for a relaxing visit .
Somehow even though tons of tourists visit this temple and it has the UNESCO stamp of approval, this temple manages to keep tranquil.
We went with a guide and there’s so many interesting parts of this temple (example: the bubbling lake that looks like it’s raining even thought it isn’t) You probably know it because this is where you can participate in water blessings but if that’s not your thing (wasn’t mine!) please pop along - it’s got so much more!
I personally think this is a must visit.
This well-maintained temple is worth the visit and some time to wander the grounds. It is a serene area with beautiful structures and landscaping. It is a place for quietness, not a noisy attraction. If you come here, do visit Ogoh Ogoh Bali as well.
The temple does not have as a dramatic background as Uluwatu Temple or Tanah Lot Temple, but it seems larger and has beautiful landscaping. Even though we could not go in the temple, we actually enjoyed the place better than some other temples such Tanah Lot because it is quite peaceful and not overrun by tourists. The temple is also listed as part of the UNESCO heritage in Bali.
This temple seemed to be the most functional one among the others we visited. Around it was calm, and quiet, the number of tourists was the most limited here. The man skirt is needed at the entrance. You just borrow it, you have to give it back. The cock-fighting arena is a surprising place. The guide said that it is done till today, though not till dead. But specially breaded Taiwanese (?) bigger than usual cocks are brought nowadays for these special purpose. Ggambling is also done on the winner. I do not know how it happesn, we just saw statues, maybe they are transferred for the event.
