Ancient temples, towering banyans, and hundreds of cheeky macaques.
A lush jungle sanctuary in the heart of Ubud, the Sacred Monkey Forest is home to hundreds of lively long-tailed macaques — curious, cheeky, and always ready to capture your attention. Visitors are gently advised to secure any loose or shiny items such as food, sunglasses, cameras, and phones, as the monkeys are known for their opportunistic antics.
Wander the shaded pathways beneath towering banyan trees and explore the atmospheric Pura Dalem Agung temple, which sits deep within the forest and evokes a wonderfully “Indiana Jones” sense of adventure. The entrance fee is modest, and you’re welcome to stay and explore for as long as you wish.

Go early morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat and the biggest crowds. Secure sunglasses, phones, and anything shiny — the monkeys are master thieves.
