Sangeh Monkey Forest was a really peaceful and enjoyable experience. Unlike some other monkey forests, the monkeys here are calm, friendly, and non-aggressive. They’re actually encouraged to jump on your shoulders, which makes for a fun and memorable interaction.
The forest itself is quiet, natural, and relaxing, with a much more laid-back atmosphere compared to busier tourist spots. A great place to visit if you want to experience monkeys up close without feeling overwhelmed or unsafe.
