Insider tips
- ★Arrive early at Monkey Forest (before 10am) for calmer macaques and better photography; they're more active and less crowded in early morning
- ★Remove sunglasses and loose items before entering the forest—macaques are curious and may snatch them; keep belongings secure
- ★Wear temple-appropriate clothing (sarongs provided) and step carefully on wet stone paths; the forest can be slippery after rain
- ★Ask your guide to recommend lunch at a local warung in Ubud rather than tourist restaurants for authentic Balinese cuisine at better value
