[2025 Bali Attraction] Travel Guide for Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary (Updated May)

#Spring0yentrip #Bali #Balitrip #Overseastrip ☆Day 1 Seminyak I went to a cafe called KYND and a spa called Body Works. At KYND, you can eat delicious acai bowls with your favorite text on them, and the inside of the shop was pink and very cute (photo 1)! At Body Works, you can experience a spa, and the atmosphere of the shop was so cute that I wanted to stay there forever (photo 2). The most recommended place is the beach club called La Brisa Bali (photo 3). It was a very beautiful place like Disney world. The scenery was wonderful and you can't see in Japan. The food and drinks were delicious! ☆Day 2 Ubud The recommended places in Ubud are Cretya Ubud and Monkey Forest. At Cretya Ubud, I was able to ride the swings in a dress (photo 4) and compare different flavors of coffee (photo 5), and I was able to have many experiences that I can't have in Japan. You can also enjoy the pool from morning to night (photo 6), so it was a place you can enjoy all day long. At the Monkey Forest, you can see many monkeys at a distance that is unimaginable in Japan. They were very cute, pulling your clothes and climbing onto your shoulders (photo 7). ☆Day 3 Kuta First, we went to Tanah Lot Temple. It was raining, but I was impressed to see a temple floating on the sea for the first time (photo 8). We watched the sunset at Kuta Beach, and the sunset seen on the beach after the rain was very beautiful (photo 9)!! And lastly, we went to a night beach club called Finns. Here, we were able to interact with many foreign people, and although it was a club right in front of the sea and had a pool and was open, it felt like the club, and it was a lot of fun (photo 10)! I wish there was a club like this in Japan! ☆Recommended Hotel There is a hotel that I would recommend by far!! It is called "Aksari Resort Ubud". The staff at this hotel were very kind, always carrying our luggage, kindly answering our questions, and replying promptly to emails. I got the smallest room, but it was very spacious and clean, so I was very satisfied. The hotel has many pools, which all guests can use (photo 11). We also had breakfast by the pool. The food was plentiful and delicious, and the staff took lots of photos for us (photo 12). There was free yoga in the morning, and we took photos of each of us doing yoga poses as a souvenir (photo 13). At the end, we took a photo with the staff (photo 14)! It was a really, really good hotel! I want to stay here every day. In summary, Bali was a really great place! Everyone in Bali was kind and wonderful. You can experience many things that you can't experience in Japan! I recommend Bali as a travel destination!!!

Bali Monkey Forest Park is located in Ubud and is an important tourist attraction in the area. The forest park covers a large area and can be divided into breeding area, temple area and forest area! In the breeding area, you can see the monkey care and treatment center in the park, and it is also a place where you can buy souvenirs. Next is the Balinese traditional temple area, where monkeys and temples coexist peacefully. The monkeys are perfectly integrated into the temple and are saved from being hunted because of this temple. They are also able to survive because of the offerings in this temple. The moss-covered temple has rich and interesting stone carvings, which is also a major feature of this place! Afterwards we walked into the forest area, where we could see monkeys enjoying a forest bath. The monkeys, big trees and the jungle covered with green shade formed a beautiful landscape painting. #Playful Traveler #Bali

During our one day trip to Ubud, we stopped by the Monkey Forest Sanctuary and were delighted to see so many monkeys. These monkeys were not aggressive, but we did see one jump on a lady visitor because she may have been wearing something that caught the monkey’s attention, so visitors should be aware. We say many monkeys diving into water and swimming, many monkeys grooming eat other, and many monkeys looking for food or eating food that staff or tourists were feeding them (visitors can pay for corn to feed the monkeys). #timetotravel #bali #ubud #indonesia #monkeyforest

Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is a nice place to go to see some monkeys. But really this sanctuary is more about the forest and temple inside. The monkeys are an amusement. It's the ancient banyan trees with their flowing roots traversing the landscape and hugging the temple that really make this place worth the visit. You may only need a couple hours at most to see everything. Definitely a place to see if you're in Ubud. #wecreate

Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is a place that you can’t miss if you are in the city of Bali. As this landmark is far from the city, you need to arrange private transportation to get there or buy a half day tour which is quite popular. This tour will arrange round trip transportation in comfortable buses. The recommended sightseeing time is between one to two hours. The forest is well maintained, in fact this is a nature reserve and Hindu temple complex. There is lots of walking and stairs so be sure to wear suitable clothing and footwear Pay attention to the dress code. Short pants not accepted. You can rent sarong there to cover your legs. The hiking trails are not really demanding so you can go at your own pace to enjoy the amazing views of the surrounding jungle. It opens to the public everyday from 8:30 am to 6 pm. #createwithtrip #holidays #exploring #createwithtrip

What impressed me most when I went to Bali before was the Ubud Monkey Forest. The monkeys here really play with tourists. When you enter the park, you can see a huge green forest. You can also buy bananas to feed the monkeys. At this time, you will find that the monkeys will really try their best to climb on you to grab the bananas. They will also steal things from you, even the ticket in my hand will be snatched away! #StarWriterMaySurprise #familytravel #romanticgetaway #hotsummergoodplace #residentwriter #overseastravel

Mandala Suci Wenara Wana, or well known as Ubud Monkey Forest, is the sanctuary and natural habitat of the Balinese long-tailed macaque. It is located at Padangtegal Ubud, Bali. About 1049 monkeys live in this sanctuary. The sanctuary is well-maintained while still preservering the natural built - you can sense the sacred aura within the forest since it's actually a temple - there's also a graveyard for the locals to be buried in one of the temple's section. It inspires not of a fear, but rather a sense of calm and serenity. The monkey forest attraction in Ubud is open from 08:30 – 18:00, but the ticket counter is open from 08:30 – 17:30. Because the protected forest area is inhabited by monkeys, there are some ethics and visiting rules that you must follow for your convenience. and the entry fee is around 80.000/adult, 60.000/3-12yo. #historicculture#naturalwonders#culturalattractions#zoo#nationalpark

The Ubud Monkey Forest is home to over 700 grey long-tailed macaques. Also known as the Sacred Monkey Forest of Padangtegal, this natural sanctuary has paved pathways through a leafy nutmeg forest as well as several ancient temples under dense foliage. The forest also has several ancient temples with guardian statues covered in moss. Popular sites include the 14th-century Pura Dalem Agung Padangtegal and Pura Prajapati, which is dedicated to village funerals. Relics and statues are under dense foliage with little sunlight, resulting in a mysterious and ancient vibe. The Ubud Monkey Forest is within a 10-minute walk of most guesthouses and resorts along the main roads of Jalan Hanoman and the namesake Jalan Monkey Forest. #bali #ubudculturaltreasures #indonesia #vacation #sacredplace #culture #trip #culturalattraction#historicculture#naturalwonders#nationalpark

You NEED to visit this beautiful Monkey Forest in Bali. It is located in Ubud near downtown. There are hundreds of monkeys everywhere. 😱I confess I was a little bit scared but it’s safe. The entrance fee is something around 2 or 3 euros and completely worth! The Bali architecture just turn everything more beautiful. It all looks like a dream! 👏🏻 Bali is the best island in Indonesia. We rented our hotel in Trip.com. I can’t wait to be back! #nationalpark#naturalwonders#summervacation

Monkey forest in Ubud is such a fun place for monkey lovers! These adorable animals are everywhere!

My favorite place of tourist attractions in Ubud! I like Monkeys so much so no wonder why i like this place. The monkeys here are more well behaved than the monkeys at Uluwatu temple. They were also so smart. i bought bananas and put them in my bag. then they just climbed to my body and took all the bananas. so funny and cute at the same time.

The sacred monkey forest park is located in Ubud, Bali. The park is surrounded by ancient trees and the unique Balinese macaques live here. Bali residents think they are the subordinates of the monkey Hanuman, so they worship the monkeys as gods. Before departure, we were told that the monkeys are stubborn, don't have eye contact with them, don't put their hands in the trouser pockets, don't carry colorful bags, don't feed, all the precautions are only one purpose---don't let the monkeys I feel that you have food or you will be robbed. I have heard more natural fears. What is the difference between a monkey and a robber? When I arrived at the park, I found out that it was not the case. There was a lot of food in the public area. The sweet potato corn was full of baskets, which were provided by the staff of the park. The monkeys enjoyed the delicious food and let the tourists pose. This is also a religious and cultural destination. The local residents protect the forest according to the Hindu Tri Hita Karana, and achieve spiritual happiness and physical health through the harmonious relationship between man, nature and God.

The Bali Monkey Forest is located in the Ubud area. The Balinese macaques can be seen on the streets near the park. They will look for food on the roadside. After entering the park, I found out that it was like a secret garden. Almost opaque green plants and small monkeys everywhere. The staff will say, "Don't feed them. If you don't feed them, they don't understand that you have food. You won't develop the habit of asking for food. It's good for them, and for ourselves." On the day of the trip, we just caught up with the local festivals. There are nearly 200 religious festivals in Bali every year. There is a temple in the center of the Monkey Park, but visitors cannot enter. Park tickets are 40k a person, open from 8:00 to 18:00.

Bali’s a dream destination—think coconut groves, cliffside sunsets, rice terraces, and volcanoes! But traveling abroad means extra prep. This all-in-one guide covers everything from visas to dining, so you can focus on the magic. Save it now 📝! ✈️ Pre-Trip Prep 1️⃣ Visas & Documents - E-Visa: Apply online via Indonesia’s official site or platforms like Trip.com. - Visa on Arrival: Available at designated Indonesian airports/ports. - Passport: Valid for 6+ months. ⚠️ Tips: Print e-visa, flight itinerary, and hotel bookings for possible checks. If customs officials demand unofficial payments, play dumb and don’t pay. 2️⃣ Payments Cash (Indonesian Rupiah) is king; bring UnionPay, Mastercard, or Visa cards as backup. ⚠️ Tips: Use reputable exchange shops and count change in-store to avoid shortchanging. 3️⃣ Phone & Internet Buy a local SIM with data in advance for instant connectivity. Enable international roaming as a fallback. 4️⃣ Packing Essentials - 🔌 German-style plug adapter (Bali’s outlets differ from China’s); bring a power strip if needed. - 💊 Meds (e.g., stomach, cold, motion sickness), mosquito repellent, and itch cream—Bali’s mosquitoes are fierce! - 🌞 Sunscreen, hat, umbrella, sun-protective clothing, waterproof phone bag, flip-flops, swimsuit for water fun. 🏨 Accommodation Tips - Bring toothbrush/toothpaste—many hotels don’t provide them. - Request higher floors in beachfront hotels to avoid dampness. - No durians/mangosteens in rooms—check rules to avoid fines. - Sensitive skin? Pack a filtered showerhead for Bali’s hard water. 🍔 Dining Tips - Choose clean restaurants; avoid raw/undercooked street food to prevent food poisoning. - Drink only bottled water from trusted brands—tap water isn’t safe. - Double-check prices before ordering and count change carefully (rupiah denominations are high). - Tipping isn’t mandatory. Leave small cash (no coins) for great service, but skip if a service fee is added. 🚗 Getting Around - Ride-Hailing: Use Grab to avoid shady taxis. - Driving: Rent cars with an international or Indonesian license; drive on the left, cautiously, as roads are narrow. - Motorbikes: Avoid unless experienced—rent from reputable companies and wear helmets to dodge fines. - Chartered Cars: Ideal for groups, offering safe, flexible travel. 🏖️ Exploring Bali - Boating: Check weather before sea trips—skip stormy or windy days. Book with reputable operators, not random beach vendors, and use a waterproof phone bag. - Water Activities: Swim/surf at lifeguard-patrolled beaches and follow safety signs, as waves can be strong. - Attractions: Watch your belongings at Monkey Forest Sanctuary (monkeys snatch); if scratched, seek staff help immediately. Lovina’s dolphin watching is dreamy but skip drift diving—too risky. Nusa Penida and Lembongan are stunning, but Penida’s rough waves aren’t beginner-friendly for snorkeling. 🙏 Cultural Dos & Don’ts 1️⃣ Respect Religion: Bali is Hindu-majority. Don’t touch temple offerings, disturb worshippers, step on street offerings, or use your left hand to give/receive items. 2️⃣ Dress Code: Wear knee-length pants/skirts and a sarong (rentable at entrances) for temples. 3️⃣ Etiquette: Eat, pay, and shake hands with your right hand—left hands are considered “unclean.” 4️⃣ Card Safety: Set overseas card locks or spending limits via banking apps to prevent fraud. 5️⃣ Tourism Tax: Pay 150,000 IDR (~USD 10) per person online. Unpaid taxes may lead to fines or deportation if checked. Got more Bali tips? Share in the comments! Search 🔍 Bali Local Guide for more insider advice. #BaliTravel #TravelTips #BaliCulture

📍Location: Monkey Forest Ubud 💰Price per person: IDR80,000/100,000 weekdays/weekends Easy access from the center of Ubud, you're sure to meet lots of monkeys! I was very satisfied to be able to observe monkeys from small to old so close. The babies are especially cute❤️❤️ Be careful, you might get bitten if you get too close or try to touch them. They look cute, but they're aggressive. I got bitten on my finger, but when I asked the staff, they said they didn't have any bacteria. All the monkeys are numbered and managed, so it's safe even if you get bitten. Be careful with sunglasses and hats, as they might steal your belongings. Keep them all in your bag! If you are going to Ubud, please be sure to visit this place 🙌 #IndonesiaTrip #Indonesia #Ubud #indonesia #ubud #monkeyforestubud #monkeyforest #monkey #monkeyforest #overseastravel #SoutheastAsian #040photo
