What to Expect
— What You Can Expect — The mission of The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, or Monkey Forest Ubud, is to conserve the area based on the concept of Tri Hita Karana, a philosophy in Hinduism that emphasizes maintaining harmonious relationships between humans, the environment, and the Supreme God. This ancient philosophy is brought to life through special rituals, like Tumpek Kandang and Tumpek Uduh, which honor animals and plants. This unique sanctuary offers visitors the opportunity to experience peace and harmony and serves as a conservation hub for rare plants and a natural laboratory for educational institutions. It's a must-see destination for anyone looking for an extraordinary experience and a deeper understanding of the natural world and ancient cultures.
