This centre was founded in 2000 by two local men, both from families containing many generations of Hindu priests. Set up for both complete beginners, and those already experienced but wishing to broaden their horizons. Every Wednesday at 19:30, there is a free class entitled "World Peace Meditation".

A sacred forest full of monkeys, which are not at all afraid of people and will happily climb all over you if you're not careful! They love to look in backpacks and often take people's sunglasses or wallets. Don't bring any food or you will risk getting bitten. If you are bitten, visit the first aid clinic near the entrance at the bottom of Jalan Monkey Forest. You will need rabies shots. Stroll through to find Pura Dalem Agung Padangtegal, a temple of the dead. A visit to the very informative website beforehand is highly recommended.
