The Ubud Monkey Forest, also known as the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, is one of Bali’s most famous natural and cultural attractions. This protected forest is home to over a thousand long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) that roam freely. Visitors can observe and interact with the monkeys while exploring the lush tropical forest, ancient temples, and historical stone carvings scattered throughout the area. Beyond being a tourist destination, the Monkey Forest serves as an important site for conservation, research, and spiritual practices for the local community.
