MONKEY FOREST

Bali's Iconic Monkey Forest

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 more than 1,260 long-tailed macaques, which are considered sacred by the local Balinese people. Ubud Monkey Forest holds important history related to Balinese culture. Dating from the 14th century, it is considered a holy place, housing spiritual powers and guardian spirits. Monkeys, seen as sacred animals, symbolize both protection and evil, fostering a unique relationship between humans and wildlife.

In the 20th century, Ubud Monkey Forest received recognition as an important conservation area. Today, it stands as a treasured sanctuary, where visitors can connect with nature, observe the charming behavior of monkeys, and support ongoing conservation efforts.
