Monkey Forest & Padangtegal
Morning-only cluster: the forest at opening, cafés on Monkey Forest Road for a midday rest; keep everything zipped and expect monkeys on the road.
Rules in force · 7Ubud lanes have broken pavement, steps and open drains
- Indonesia ↗Buy the visa on arrival or e-visa only on the official Immigration portal; lookalike sites charge extra.
- Indonesia ↗Complete the All Indonesia digital arrival and customs form before landing; it is free.
- Indonesia ↗Foreign visitors to Bali pay a one-off tourist levy; keep the payment proof on your phone.
- Indonesia ↗Riding a motorbike needs a valid licence that covers motorbikes (an international permit alongside your own) and a helmet; check your insurance covers it.
- Bali ↗A hired driver by the day is the normal way to visit rice terraces and temples outside Ubud; agree the route and price before you set off.
- Ubud ↗Ubud lanes have broken pavement, steps and open drains: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
- Ubud ↗Monkeys in and around the Monkey Forest take phones, glasses and food: keep them zipped away.
