The monkey forest

Tourists seeking to spice up a typical tropical vacation swarm this unique destination in the woods. But a visit to this Balinese Hindu temple complex demands a few more Ps and Qs than a carefree stroll at a surfside resort. Not only does the Ubud Monkey Forest come with a dress code (no bikinis, please!), but the resident band of long-tailed macaques enforce a certain local order—by swiping anything that looks tasty or shiny. So unless you're looking to make a generous offering, stow your valuables and leave the snacks back in the beach basket.
