With our time in the jungle drawing to a close we bid farewell to the villa staff and made our way to the ever smiling Imade, who had already loaded our bags into the car.

On our way to Alila Villas Uluwatu we asked him to drive us into central Ubud so that we could have a quick look around the monkey forest.

The place is overrun with both tourists and monkeys. If you’ve been to some of the more impressive temple sites in Asia such as Angkor Wat the temple buildings in their jungle setting won’t wow you, still the forest is worth exploring for an hour if you’re in the area. Just make sure to keep all your valuables safely out of sight of the monkeys!
