Ubud Monkey Forest

The Ubud Monkey Forest is well-known for its environmental initiatives and research centers set up for the research on the monkeys' health, food, and breeding patterns, which are conducted on a regular basis. 

In their natural habitat, these entertaining primates can be spotted swinging through canopies and munching bananas. In the woods, there are several antique temples with natural guarding sculptures.

Pura Dalem Agung Padangtegal, built in the 14th century, and Pura Prajapati, which is devoted to village funerals, are also famous tourist destinations. The area has a peculiar and old vibe to it because relics and monuments are concealed by dense greenery and receive little light.

Banyan tree roots hanging from dismal dragon staircases make very exotic photo opportunities. Pura Beji, an ancient bathing temple northwest of Ubud Monkey Forest's main site, is well worth a visit.
