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

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
