Monkey around at the Sacred Monkey Forest

It would not be a complete Ubud itinerary if it did not include a trip to the town’s most famous tourist attraction, the Sacred Monkey Forest in Desa Padangtegal. It’s a 2-kilometer drive by motorbike from Saraswati Temple Park.

In this ultra-famous tourist attraction in Bali, you will see 749 monkeys in their natural habitat, but beware because they can often be too comfortable around humans despite being domesticated.
