The Uniqueness of Ubud Monkey Forest

For tourists who come here either independently or using the services of Bali Tour Package, can make a visit to this forest and do various interesting things such as

1. Interacting with long-tailed macaques

Actually, the most important thing that can attract tourists to come and choose to travel to the Ubud monkey forest is because they can interact with the monkeys there. If all this time wild monkeys will stay away from humans and spend their days up in the trees, but unlike the monkeys in this place, they actually interact more with tourists who come to the place.

Although interaction with these apes can be done easily, tourists must still comply with the rules that have been made. The monkeys in the forest may look tame, but they are still skittish animals and can hurt anyone who gets too close. You will also always be advised not to have two-way interactions so that your tour and introduction to the history of Ubud's monkey forest can continue smoothly.

2. Enjoy the Tranquility

Tourists who come can feel the tranquility when in the morning or late afternoon the atmosphere in the forest will be very calm and very suitable for those of you who want to relax. You can walk in the middle of the forest through the path that has been provided.

Although the area outside the path is so beautiful because it has a natural river flow, it is advisable for the tourists who take the package not to break through because it will be very dangerous if the monkeys suddenly attack. So it is better to stay on the designated path that will be the right choice.

3. Seeing Long-tailed Macaque Activity

Seeing the monkeys come down from the top of the tree and do various activities on the ground is definitely an interesting spectacle. What's more, if you have a hobby of photography, you can capture the activities of the monkeys with a camera. Tourists can take different poses of the monkeys.

Be sure to hold the camera firmly when taking pictures. There are some monkeys that may act unaware and take the camera because they find it interesting. In order for the photography to go smoothly, stay alert and careful.

4. Visiting a Temple in the Forest

Not only can you interact with the monkeys, tourists can also visit the sacred temple in the forest. In fact, there are several temple buildings in the forest. The first building is usually used as a playground for the monkeys, the second is larger and is used as a place of worship by the local people.

It is recommended that you visit the larger temple, and the smaller temple is only recommended for tourists to see from a distance.

Some monkeys consider the smaller temple to be their territory, so anyone approaching the temple may be attacked. If you want to enter both temples, it is usually included in the price of the Ubud Monkey Forest ticket.
