Exploring the Wonders of Ubud’s Monkey Forest: History, Activities, Tickets, and Unique Attractions

The Ubud Monkey Forest, nestled in Bali, offers a mesmerizing experience for visitors seeking a connection with nature and wildlife. Situated in the heart of Ubud, this forest isn’t just a home to a group of friendly and adorable monkeys; it also boasts a rich history and unique allure.

A Captivating History

The Ubud Monkey Forest, also known as the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, isn’t merely a tourist spot. Deeply rooted in Bali’s history and culture, this forest is considered sacred by locals as it houses three revered temples. Established in the mid-14th century, the main temple, Pura Dalem Agung Padangtegal, serves as a place of worship for the deity Shiva.

The Ubud Monkey Forest isn’t just about monkeys; it’s a harmonious blend of wildlife and spiritualism for the Balinese community. Its presence as a place of worship offers visitors a chance to understand Bali’s cultural richness and spirituality.

Astonishing Experiences
Monkey Interaction: One of the main draws of this forest is the opportunity to interact with the long-tailed macaques that roam freely. Visitors can feed the monkeys bananas available for purchase near the entrance, while adhering to the set rules to ensure the safety and health of both monkeys and visitors.

Exploring Sacred Temples: Within the forest, three temples stand, showcasing Bali’s unique architectural beauty and deep spiritual values. Visitors can immerse themselves in the beauty and tranquility of these temples while respecting the local beliefs and customs.

Nature Immersion: Besides monkeys and temples, the forest offers breathtaking natural beauty. A hanging bridge, a small river, and lush ancient trees create a serene ambiance for visitors seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Tirta Empul The Holy Spring Temple

Bali is famous for the many beautiful tourist objects scattered throughout Bali. Apart from beach tourism, mountain tourism, and entertainment tourism, Bali is also famous for its spiritual tourism. Tirta Empul is one of the hundreds of spiritual tours. Located in Manukaya Village, Tampaksiring District, Gianyar Regency, Bali. Tirta Empul is a spiritual location for self-purification through bathing in a shower (‘pengelukan’ in Balinese). If taken from Denpasar City, it takes about 1 hour, and from Ubud, it takes about 30 minutes. ‘Tirta’ means water and ‘Empul’ means out, Tirta Empul itself means water that comes out of the ground. Tirta Empul is a spring that has existed since ancient times with a background in the story of the feud between Bhatara Indra and King Mayanadenawa, where when King Mayanadenawa tried to poison Bhatara Indra’s troops, Bhatara Indra stuck a stick and created a spring as an antidote to the poison. In 962 AD during the reign of the Warmadewa dynasty in Bali and its king, King Sri Candrahayasingha Warmadewa, a temple was built in this spring area which was named Pura Tirta Empul, according to the name of the spring. At Tirta Empul Temple, Lord Vishnu is worshiped as its manifestation, namely Narayana. The water shower at the Tirta Empul spring itself is divided into 3 blocks of pools. The westmost pool has 13 showers, the middle pool has 2 showers and the eastmost pool has 6 showers. The surrounding community in particular and the Balinese Hindu community in general believe in the efficacy of the Tirta Empul spring shower. Aside from being a place of purification to calm the mind, it is also a means of healing for the body and soul. Many people with a high belief in healing come and bathe in the Tirta Empul shower to experience healing from their illnesses. Indeed, we cannot fully believe in what someone is feeling without proof, but if it is a positive thing, then we can take the energy as positive energy within us because healing comes from our positive thoughts. Local and foreign tourists visit Tirta Empul to cleanse themselves and heal their souls. Believe it or not, many tourists return from this place to find the peace and find the positive energy they are looking for. No wonder many tourists come repeatedly. Tirta Empul Temple will usually be crowded on certain days, such as Full Moon Days and religious holidays in Bali because it is believed on those days that the highest spiritual level is reached if we do the healing (bathing in the holy Tirta Empul water shower). Entrance ticket The ticket price here is currently Rp. 30,000 to enter and Rp. 20,000 for a locker if you want to do the “Melukat” procession
