Ubud Monkey Forest

Located just a short distance from Ubud Art Resort, the Ubud Monkey Forest, also known as the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, is one of Bali’s most famous attractions. This lush forest sanctuary is home to over 700 Balinese long-tailed macaques and offers a unique blend of natural beauty, wildlife encounters, and spiritual significance.

The Sacred Experience

The Ubud Monkey Forest is more than just a place to see monkeys; it is also an important spiritual site for the local community. The sanctuary is home to three ancient temples, which date back to the 14th century and are still used for religious ceremonies today. The temples are considered sacred, and visitors can experience the cultural and religious heritage of Bali while surrounded by a dense jungle of towering trees and hanging vines.

The Monkeys

The long-tailed macaques that inhabit the forest are a significant draw for visitors. While they are fun to watch as they swing from trees or play along the forest paths, visitors are reminded to be cautious, as the monkeys are naturally curious and can sometimes get close to visitors. Feeding the monkeys is allowed, but it's important to follow guidelines to ensure both the safety of the animals and guests.

A Nature Lover’s Paradise

The sanctuary is also a lush natural reserve, with pathways that lead through thick tropical foliage, towering banyan trees, and flowing streams. Visitors can enjoy the tranquil beauty of the forest while exploring its well-maintained paths, bridges, and riverside spots.
