Description and is it worth a visit
Ubud Monkey Forest
The forest of monkeys in Ubud (Ubud Monkey Forest) is one of the most famous and popular tourist attractions in Bali. Rarely a tour to the central part of the island goes without visiting this place, and, in general, for good reason. We also believe that it should definitely be visited during your vacation in Bali. However, in fairness it should be noted that if you want to get here just to look at the monkeys and chat with them, then this is far from the only place where it can be done. There is another, not so famous monkey forest Sangeh Monkey Forest, still filled with monkeys Ulu Watu Temple. And in general, in Bali, they can be found in many places, even on beaches.
Sometimes you can hear that the monkey forest is only about monkeys, and there is nothing to see except them. But in fact, like the famous Uluwatu, it is also a temple. It is called Pura Dalem Agung (Pura Dalem Agung Padangtegal). And although it can not boast of gorgeous sunset views and location on a cliff above the sea, it is still worth a visit.
The complex of the temple and the monkey forest is quite large, it will easily take an hour or more to visit. The dense rain forest, decorated with sculptures of animals and mythical creatures, gives it a special mystery. It is pleasant and interesting to walk along it, a whole tourist route of paths and paths is equipped for this. A tour guide is not needed here, you can easily figure it out yourself. You can't get lost here, but still, just in case, there is a map with the paths and objects of the temple on a large shield at the entrance, you can take a picture of it on your smartphone. Also, cards are issued when buying tickets, but judging by our experience, not always.
And now the most important thing!
It is generally believed that monkeys are funny and harmless animals, and you can have a good time with them while walking through the forest. But in fact, it's not like that at all. Do not treat it too carelessly, and get ready in advance for a walk.
First of all, you need to know that monkeys are carriers of rabies, and there is a warning about this in the park. If a monkey bites you, you will have to seek help from a medical institution and undergo a course of vaccination, which is not cheap.
Once again, very important!!!Rabies is fatal, and it is not treated. If vaccination is not carried out in a timely manner, then death is almost guaranteed.
And now about less dangerous, but also important things and how to behave with monkeys:
- All valuables and everything that can be removed from you or easily picked up, hide in backpacks and close well.
- Do not take food with you, even in backpacks, they feel it.
- Bottles, candy wrappers, or food wrappers that you might have accidentally forgotten in the side mesh pockets of your backpack will attract monkeys.
- Do not show aggression unnecessarily and do not frighten even a lone monkey, otherwise it will quickly call its relatives and they will attack in a pack.
- If something valuable has been taken away from you, quickly call the local staff for help, they know how to handle them.
- In a desperate situation, if you have to fight back against the pack, use a stick or wave off with a backpack, they are afraid of this.
