Ubud Monkey Forest, also known as the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, is a natural reserve located in the heart of Ubud. It is home to over 700 long-tailed macaques that roam freely around the sanctuary, creating a unique and enchanting experience for visitors. The sanctuary is not only a popular tourist attraction but also a research and conservation center dedicated to the preservation of the macaques and their forest habitat.

You can stroll through the lush forest trails, surrounded by towering trees and beautiful temples that are home to the monkeys. It is a great opportunity to observe the playful and curious nature of the macaques in their natural habitat. However, it is important to respect the rules and guidelines set by the sanctuary – not feeding or touching the monkeys to ensure the safety and well-being of both visitors and the animals.

Apart from the monkeys, the sanctuary also features beautiful Balinese architecture and ancient temples, including the Pura Dalem Agung Padangtegal Temple, which dates back to the 14th century. You can learn about Balinese Hinduism and the significance of the temples through guided tours or by exploring on your own. Overall, the Ubud Monkey Forest is a unique and memorable experience that offers a glimpse into the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Bali.
