  • The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is a nature reserve and temple complex in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia. It is also known as the Ubud Monkey Forest. The Sanctuary is home to over 1000 long-tailed macaques, who are considered sacred by the local Balinese people. There are baby, adult, and obese monkeys in the park’s natural environment.
    The monkey forest’s governing council protects all the monkeys here, including the ancient temples and their visitors. They have their work cut out for them as the monkeys are divided different groups spread out across the park and may occasionally conflict with each other if they stray into each other’s territory on the park grounds.
    In addition to the park’s monkeys, there are nearly 200 species of plants (including rare plants) and trees in the jungle, and it’s a forest conservation area, too.
    The village members serve as the ultimate guardians of the monkeys, and the local community sees them as a spiritual blessing to the area and the forest.
    There are three principal temples inside Ubud’s Monkey Forest - Pura Dalem Agung Padangtegal, Pura Beji, and Pura Prajapati. These intricately designed, moss-covered ancient shrines are a testament to the mysticism of a bygone era in Balinese Hinduism.
