Sangeh Monkey Forest

Located in the inland forests of Bali, this park is a wildlife sanctuary where long-tailed macaques roam freely. Visitors go here to observe these primates in a natural habitat and to visit a small temple situated within the wooded area.

Getting There

The park is located away from the main coastal hubs. From the center of Ubud, the most common way to reach the site is by hiring a private driver or renting a scooter. The journey typically takes 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic conditions.

Duration of Visit

Most visitors spend between 1.5 to 3 hours exploring the forest trails and visiting the temple. This allows enough time to walk through the canopy and observe the monkey colonies without rushing.

When to Visit

Arriving in the early morning is recommended to avoid the midday heat and the largest crowds. The park can become crowded during peak tourist seasons and on weekends. Visitors should be mindful of their belongings, as the monkeys are active and opportunistic.
