Located in Padangtegal, Ubud, Bali, the Ubud Monkey Forest is home to around 1,260 Balinese long-tailed monkeys. Here, visitors can stroll through the lush forest, see over 115 species of trees, and visit three traditional temples that are still used for Hindu ceremonies.
The monkeys are very active and playful, and they sometimes even take visitors’ belongings such as glasses or hats. So, make sure your belongings are secure and avoid bringing food.
Besides meeting the monkeys, the forest also symbolizes the harmony between humans, nature, and spirituality, and serves as a place for education and the conservation of rare animals. The combination of nature, culture, and wildlife makes the Ubud Monkey Forest a must-visit destination for travelers seeking a unique Bali experience.
