Ubud Monkey Forest Address And Map

While it is fairly easy to see where the monkey forest is, it is very important for you to know about the location so you can find your way to the location. I will tell you if you book one of the tours that we have mentioned and linked to in the ads you can find them that way as well. However, here is the map and the address you will need if you do not want to use a tour.  You will notice the map is not that well detailed, but it is hard to miss this location!

Is This A Temple? 

What you need to realize is this is a location that is based at a temple. The monkey temple is one of the main draws and while it did not really start off as being called this and it is a sacred temple, you will find that it is a place that you are going to like because it does make it quite a bit easier for you to  see the sacred side of Bali and not really feel like you are in a sacred spot because of the number of tourist that are here and the entertaining monkeys that so many people have decided to look at and enjoy. On the downside as with any of the major tourist attractions, you will find the crowds can take away from some of the sacred space that you are looking at here.

Are The Monkey’s Captive?

This is a common thing that people ask because they think the monkeys are captive! This is far from the case as the monkeys are actually wild and are free to go as they want to. The difference is the monkeys tend to stay here because the tourist usually will give them some type of food to help them in staying around. So you may think the monkeys are going to be tame and captive, you will be very hard pressed to find any cages around here that are going to keep the monkeys in the location. So please keep this in mind and realize that you are going to be facing the monkey’s that are wild and this does mean you can have some issues if you are not careful. In fact, some people have reported being bitten by the monkeys at times.

On to the Royal Temple of Mengwi – Pura Taman Ayun – complete with moat, shrines and carved gates. Visit the sacred Monkey Forest, a cluster of towering trees, home to hundreds of monkeys and experience the famous 16th century “Sunset Temple” of Tanah Lot to marvel at this sacred spot 200 meters off shore.

Does The Location Have Trails To Follow? 

While you may think about a trail as being a set path to follow, I will tell you this is a place that does have some trails. These are not going to be like what you may expect, but they are easy for you to follow. So you will be able to get a great time walking through the area. The downside is the trails, just like the location itself, can be crowded and this makes it very difficult for you to get around at times.

Is The Monkey Forest Safe And Kid Friendly?

Finding a place for your kids to go in Bali is a great thing to do and I have to say this is one location that is kid safe if you are able to keep an eye on your kids. You will need to remember if you are not keeping a close eye on your kids the monkeys are wildlife and you will have to make sure you are keeping this in mind and let your kids know that as well. As far as the forest being safe overall, you will find this is a great place to be safe in, but you need to realize it is full of wildlife and you need to keep that in mind when you are looking at the monkey forest to provide you with a great time that is very entertaining.

How Long Will It Take To Go Through The Location?

When you are looking at this location you may think about the beach and the other attractions that are around Bali. Well, I will tell you that you can expect to take about an hour or two for getting around the location. This will make it easier for you to have a great trip to the region and know it is going to allow you to have enough time to get around the other attractions you are going to want to check out.

My Final Thoughts On Ubud Monkey Forest

I have to say this is one place that is nice if you like wildlife and want to see it in a natural habitat. At the same time if you want to see the monkey temple it is a great place to go as well. The downside is this is a very popular tourist destination and it is mainly because people want to see the monkeys and just watch them so the crowds can be rather large. Overall, I have to say if you are looking for a great location that allows you to connect with nature when you are making your Bali travel plans, then this is one place that you will not mind going because the Sacred Mountain Forest definitely makes it easier for you to have a great vacation.
