The story

The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary sits in Padangtegal, Ubud, and opens daily from 9 am to 6 pm, with last entry at 5 pm (monkeyforestubud.com, checked 26 Sep 2026). It is a nature reserve and Hindu temple complex, home to more than 1,050 long-tailed macaques that the local Balinese community considers sacred. Inside are the Dragon Bridge, a Holy Spring Temple, and wooden pathways through the forest; the operator sells admission with a guide, about 2 hours, without a hotel transfer.

The macaques are wild, not tame: they move through the trees and across the paths at their own pace, close enough that the sanctuary's own site tells visitors to keep hold of their belongings and not to stare directly into a monkey's eyes. Its guidance is to go in without a bag, so the monkeys have no reason to think there is food inside. Between the animals, the walk passes stone carvings, the Dragon Bridge and a temple built around a spring, under the forest canopy.

This suits families whose children can follow instructions around wild animals, and couples or friends' groups after a calmer stop between Ubud's markets and rice terraces. It can suit seniors too, with wooden pathways through the forest, though anyone nervous around animals may prefer to keep their distance rather than approach closely.
