Kedaton Monkey Forest that is the name widely used
to refer spot of land with high trees densely growing in an area of around 100 hectares located closed
to Mengwi town known for it's Taman Ayun Temple. The name Kedaton refers to a place where king palace
was constructed. It might be true that during 16th century when the area of Tabanan kingdom
broke into various small vassals, one small king might had lived here. As the fact that the king of
Mengwi was before had their palace built very closed the area of Kedaton. Today Kedaton is a nature
reserve where live dozen of wild moneys and big fruit bats known as flying foxen. After the gate of the
reserve is a medium temple showing a great influence of megalithic tradition. There are various natural
stone being seated on an altars in the middle of the temple which is also named as Pura Kedaton. This
name also lead to an assumption that this temple was belong to one of the small kingdom at the moment,
so the meaning is as if it is the temple belong to the palace ( temple belong to the Kedaton ). In 1981
the department of Archaeology University of Udayana carried out an excavation in this area to clear out
the misleading believe of the local people that the monkey burry their dead member in a spot of land
with many small dooms. If good weather, Tanah Lot offer good sunset with temple on the back ground.
