What Monkey Forest Ubud is
The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary (Mandala Wisata Wenara Wana) is a community-managed forest and temple complex in Padangtegal, Ubud. The local village maintains it as a living sacred site that supports culture and conservation.
Walk shaded stone paths past moss-covered statues and small bridges while long-tailed macaques move through the trees. Temple courtyards, including Pura Dalem Agung, Pura Beji, and Pura Prajapati, are visible from public paths; view respectfully from outside.
Move calmly and give wildlife space.

How long to spend and simple route ideas

Tip:
- Avoid crowding at bridges. Step aside and wait if a troop passes.
