Monkey Forest

 

Get ready to immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of Bali as we visit the famous Monkey Forest in Ubud. This sanctuary is located in the heart of Ubud, Bali's cultural centre. It is home to over 700 Balinese long-tailed monkeys, also known as macaques, which are split into four groups that roam the forest.

 

While walking through the monkey forest, you can observe these creatures up close as they play, groom each other, and interact with visitors. They are relatively used to human presence, but it is important to remember that they are wild animals and to respect their space. Do not attempt to touch or feed them, as they can become aggressive if they feel threatened.

 

Aside from the monkeys, the forest is also home to three ancient temples that you can explore, including the Pura Dalem Agung Padangtegal, which dates back to the 14th century. This temple is believed to have been built for the worship of the god Shiva, and it is still actively used by the local community for ceremonies and offerings.

Sunrise Volcano Trek and Massage

 

As you start your trek in the early hours of the morning, the world is still shrouded in darkness. But as you make your way up the volcano, you can feel the excitement building as the sky slowly starts to turn shades of pink and orange. The sound of your footsteps on the volcanic rocks echoes in the quiet morning air as you ascend towards the summit.

 

And then, as you reach the top, the sun begins to peek over the horizon, casting a golden light over the landscape below. Enjoy your breakfast on top of the volcano providing a unique experience that you won't soon forget.

 

After your descent, you'll have the opportunity to indulge in a relaxing and rejuvenating massage, which will help soothe any aches and pains from the trek.

 

The rest of the day is yours to relax and enjoy the serene surroundings of Ubud, take a stroll through the local markets, or visit one of the many cultural and historical sites in the area.
