“The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary located right near the center of Ubud Town is the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary. This beautiful misty jungle complex is an ancient nature reserve and temple site. It is home to over 1,000 Balines long-tailed macaks. As you walk along the stone pathways under giant banyan trees, you will see monkeys playing, climbing, and grooming each other. However, visitors must be careful. Keep your sunglasses, phones, and water bottles safely zipped inside your bags as these monkeys are professional pickpockets.”
