Sacred Monkey Forest, Ubud

The Sacred Monkey Forest is a protected forest in Padangtegal, Ubud, inhabited by long-tailed macaques (also called crab-eating macaque). The sanctuary is located at the end of a long road known as the Monkey Forest Road, or in Balinese, Jalan Wana Wanara.

Visitors to the Sacred Monkey Forest should be aware that some of the monkeys are quite aggressive. You should put away any shiny objects such as spectacles and make sure your camera is strapped, as the monkeys are fond of grabbing belongings.

Located within the forest is Pura Dalem Agung Padangtegal, the temple of the dead.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
