Wander Snaps #2 - Indonesia: Monkeys, Temples and Inside a Real Hindu Priest's Home 32 Photos
Following my Wander Blog #2, which featured my experiences in Ubud including a visit to a Hindu Faith Healer , here are more photos from that experience. Here is the link to my EAT, PRAY, HEAL adventure in Ubud, Bali if you want to know more.
You will learn more about my travel adventures and misadventures in my Wander Blog series, followed by more photos (and side stories) here in my Wander Snaps series. Please enjoy!
My solo room which looks like a temple at Alamanda Accommodation. I recommend this place as it is very clean and affordable. The owners also went of their way to take me to the Hindu Faith Healer.
Entrance to the Monkey Forest. Some monkeys like welcoming guests before they enter their temple.

For both your safety and the monkeys', it is not recommended to bring food. The monkeys are fed by the caretakers of this complex.
The monkeys seem okay with the presence of visitors as long as you don't mind their monkey business.
The temple inside the complex.
The monkeys roam freely in the mini forest as well as in the temple area.
Time to remove those fleas and save a trip to the vet!!
Play dead!
This is home to over 500 monkeys

My trip to a Hindu Healing priest's home. You can learn more about my story in in my previous blog (Wander Blog # 2).
It is a spacious residential complex which houses family temples.
The house which also looks like a temple!
More temples inside
Grandpa (the Hindu priest), his grandson (yes, they can have a family) and my guesthouse owner preparing for my healing session.
The Hindu people are one of the most helpful and generous people I have met. They did not charge me a fee and just accepted my donation. I have read some "Hindu faith healers" who charge as much as 100 USD, please do your research if you want to try. Grandpa was recommended to me by my guesthouse owners because I was sick and not for tourism.
The Hindu Healing Ritual
I hope I was able to take you to my travel experience through my snap shots. On my next blog and snaps series, I will feature Ubud’s unique wedding and funeral tradition. So feel free to follow me and read more travel stories.
PS. Sorry that I posted this late. This was supposed to be out a day after my blog but I got stuck somewhere with no internet after New Year’s Eve! Happy 2018, dear Steemians!

Awesome photos. Your accommodation does look like a temple. I, initially, thought it was until I read the caption.
And it's also cheap, around 600 php for a big fan room with own bathroom. It feels like luxury for a backpacker like me :)
Wow mura nga! Dito sa pinas, 600 rate mahirap ng hanapin. Tanungin ko nga siblings ko about it.
