The Sacred Monkey Forest, located in the village of Padangtegal near Ubud, is a unique biosphere reserve in Bali where approximately 700 long-tailed macaques live in their natural environment. The official name of this place is Balinese Mandala Suci Wenara Wana, which translates to “Sacred Monkey Forest”. Its concept is based on the Hindu teachings of Tri Hita Karana, which emphasizes the importance of harmony between people, nature and God. The forest serves not only as a spiritual center, but also as a place for scientific research, providing fresh air and protecting the local ecosystem.
