Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary (Ubud Monkey Forest)

The Ubud Monkey Forest is renowned for its environmental programs and research facilities established for the regular studies on the health, diet, and breeding habits of the monkeys. These amusing primates can be seen eating bananas and hanging through canopies in their native environment. Several old temples with statues of nature guardians can be found in the woods.

Famous tourist attractions include Pura Prajapati, which is dedicated to village funerals, and Pura Dalem Agung Padangtegal, which was constructed in the fourteenth century. Because antiquities and monuments are hidden by thick vegetation and receive little light, the area has an odd, ancient feel about it.

Photographs of banyan tree roots hanging from dreary dragon staircases are quite intriguing. A visit to Pura Beji, an old bathing temple northwest of the main location of Ubud Monkey Forest, is highly recommended.
