Sangeh Monkey Forest is a peaceful 14-hectare jungle sanctuary in central Bali, famous for its tranquil macaque monkeys, enduring jungle trails, and ancient Balinese temples. Sangeh Monkey Forest is relatively less crowded than the famous monkey forest in Ubud and is a better choice for visitors seeking a peaceful experience where they can engage with the friendly macaque monkeys.
While the monkeys remain quite playful up to no good, they tend to be more gentle than those found at the Ubud park. Visitors can also expect to view nutmeg plantations towering over the surroundings, as well as typical pre-wedding photo shoots.
It is just 30 minutes away from Ubud, so you can get there by scooter or private vehicle. The cost to visit is also reasonable, and the surroundings make it a great place to add to your Bali vacation.
