About Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary In Bali

The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary also goes with the name Ubud Monkey Forest.

It is located at the village of Padangtegal, and the locals of the village consider this forest the spiritual nerve-center for their beliefs. The forest is the home to the Balinese grey long-tailed macaques that are scientifically known as Macaca fascicularis. Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary has over 600 monkeys spread into six different regions (main temple area, new forest area, north-east area, east part of the main temple, cremation temple and central point). You are to be welcomed by the monkeys right from the entrance of the forest. If you wish to interact with the monkeys, just feed them with bananas. They won't do any harm. However, refrain from touching them. Lazing around the forest, swinging through the canopy, admiring the natural habitat of monkeys, capturing photographs, walking through the nutmeg forests are something that you do to prepare yourself to do.

Highlights of Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary

The forest is the home ground to three temples named as Prajapati Temple, Dalem Agung Padangtegal Temple, and Holy Spring Temple. Prajapati Temple is situated at the Northeastern part of the park. There is also a cemetery adjacent to the temple which is the temporary burial ground of the deceased until the mass cremation ceremony which is held every five years. The Holy Spring temple is on the north-western side of the forest and holds spiritual importance. One could take a bath here for physical cleansing in order to retain purification. The Dalem Agung Padangtegal is the worshipping ground of Lord Shiva. These temples orchestrate an essential role within the local community. The monkeys are considered sacred because of its association with the mythologies.

As per the census of 2011, they are over 605 Macaques living in the forest. The monkeys are perfectly taken care of by the forest staff. They are fed sweet potatoes and bananas three times a day as their main source of food. Sometimes papayas, coconuts, corn, and other local foods are also given. The monkeys are very territorial as they are spread in many different regions of the forest. There might be cases that two different groups of monkeys indulge in a fight. They share every habit of being a mammal, therefore enabling the tourist to see their day to day activities such as grooming, nurturing young ones and also mating. The monkeys have no fear of humans and are smart enough to approach only those who offer food to them.

Chhaya's 5 days trip to Bali

When we inquire for any destination please tell us the best places surrounding to that country . Easy my trip.com & budget my trip agents covered 105000 for 2 person with Singapore,Malaysia & Lakshavi island. Overall it was good . Now my September goal is to go to Spain for 12 days if you can budget my trip with activities it will be good . Best place was Universal studio where we got very less time . Flyer was excellent But couldn’t visit Marina bay sands hotel view very disappointed.

Lipika's 7 days trip to Bali

Our Bali trip for 7 days was a comfortable trip with Tour Hunters .It was a lot of fun- the driver was very good and sites choses were right on spot. The only thing of caution- plz book your own flight so you know what airlines you book and no surprises... Vietjet was awful in terms of service for sure!! i had to struggle with checkin and seat booking and i was not told about airlines till it was booked. Also i wish we did Ubud first and then kuta as returning from ubud to airport was a long trip and we hardly got any time left to go to lounge , eat and do any last minute shopping at the airport. it was such a touch and go from ubud to airport. Someone needed to have thought through this better!! Good points were- Ubud stay , currency support given , hotel booked .

Shilpi's 5 days trip to Bali

Hello, I just wanted to share my fantastic experience with Tour Hunters. The executives are truly professionals who handle customers with great politeness and care. They made us feel like family, guiding us every step of the way throughout our trip. One aspect I especially want to highlight is that they created a Whatsapp group and included their entire team, which was a game-changer. Anytime I had doubts or needed assistance, I could reach out, and they responded like friends—helping with any queries promptly and making sure we were comfortable at all times. The hotels they arranged were excellent, and the drivers were extremely polite and warm-hearted—truly like brothers to us. Their support and kindness made our trip even more memorable. I wholeheartedly recommend Tour Hunters to all my friends and family. When you plan your trip with them, you don’t have to worry about anything. They take care of everything with utmost professionalism.

Samiksha's 7 days trip to Bali

The overall experience was just about okay — not terrible, but definitely not what was promised or expected. While the itinerary was planned in advance, the car provided was far from luxury, despite prior assurance, and felt more like a basic taxi. The driver was polite but mostly functioning as a pick-and-drop resource, without any flexibility if we had to go somewhere else. Although he was very polite and very punctual. One of the most disappointing moments came on our last day, when we were headed to the airport for our return flight and the assigned cab had a flat tire. We had to urgently book another cab on our own to avoid missing our flight — something that should never happen with a managed tour. We were also told we would be added to a WhatsApp group before the trip for coordination, but no such group was ever created. On the day we visited Nusa Penida, we waited over an hour at the port without being able to reach any agent — in India, in Bali, or the driver. That part of the experience felt very poorly managed and left us feeling stranded. In summary, it was a 3-star experience — some things worked as per plan, but the service lacked warmth, flexibility, and responsiveness. With a few improvements in communication, car quality, and on-ground support, the experience could be significantly better.

Navdeep Amritsar

Shruti's 6 days trip to Bali

The experience has been positive. However, I recommend a revised itinerary to ensure all planned locations are visited. Time constraints necessitated the omission of three locations. Best part is Bali swing, Handara Gate and Bird's park.

If you keep a safe distance from the monkey, do not disturb their activities then it is completely safe to click pictures with the monkeys.

Department of Anthropology, University of Notre Dame, United State of America conducted 14-year long research on the monkeys declaring the species free of rabies. The monkeys residing in the forest are pretty much healthy and are monitored by the Primate Research Center of Udayana University
