TAR 22 Ep 4 "I Love Monkeys"
georgiapeach:
Ubad after all!! :yess: NICE!
Thanks Chateau!
Chateau d If:
This shot was taken between 9:00 and 10:30 am (assumes November 20th).
Neobie:
Wikimapia labels it as the village temple of Singakerta, called Pura Kayangan Puseh... Couldn't find any other photos just yet... Good work Chateau! It's close enough to the Monkey Forest... Is it a Detour option or a U-Turn location?
We seem to have a lot of things going on in Ubud!
1. Route info with kecak dancers at Kenanga Hotel
2. Detour decision at Ubud Monkey Forest
3a. Clues inside coconuts with Chuck/Wynona, likely at Ubud Monkey Forest
3b. Cordoned-off 15-min task with Joey/Meghan at Ubud Monkey Forest
4. Gathering black sand (?) at, according to Nyoman, Ayung River, which is not in the Monkey Forest
5. Legong dancers at Singakerta, which is close to, but not in, the Monkey Forest
If the Joey/Meghan (= coconut?) task and the river task are two sides of a Detour, isn't it a little unbalanced? The river is a distance away from the Monkey Forest (short distance, but still a distance, say 10min), you get wet, it's physical, and the other task only takes 15 minutes? Is there the possibility of the river being in the Monkey Forest?
And would teams visit Singakerta at all or is it just stock footage?

The photo I found was labelled as Dalem Temple, Ubud, Neobie..it is within the Ubud forest!!
Also this copyrighted photo of near identical dancers is ALSO labelled Pura Dalem temple, desa Ubud

These Youtubes show the layout perfectly, especially the second.

Peach, they're two different temples, similar-looking but not the same! The one Chateau found is not in the Monkey Forest, it's slightly outside of Ubud in a village called Singakerta.
Let's play spot-the-difference! :)
1. The gateway is sharp in Ubud, rounded in Singakerta.
2. A much more ornate base in Ubud, simpler stairwell in Singakerta.
3. A gap in the "fence" of the central altar, none in Singakerta.
4. The jagged triangular pattern along the gateway in Singakerta, none in Ubud.
5. The ground is tiled in Ubud, grassy in Singakerta.
4 and 5 are evident in the episode caps, meaning the dancers are at Singakerta, not at the Monkey Forest.
