It is home to over 700 Balinese long-tailed monkeys, also known as macaques, which are split into four groups that roam the forest.

While walking through the monkey forest, you can observe these creatures up close as they play, groom each other, and interact with visitors. They are relatively used to human presence, but it is important to remember that they are wild animals and to respect their space. Do not attempt to touch or feed them, as they can become aggressive if they feel threatened.

Aside from the monkeys, the forest is also home to three ancient temples that you can explore, including the Pura Dalem Agung Padangtegal, which dates back to the 14th century. This temple is believed to have been built for the worship of the god Shiva, and it is still actively used by the local community for ceremonies and offerings.

The sound of your footsteps on the volcanic rocks echoes in the quiet morning air as you ascend towards the summit.

And then, as you reach the top, the sun begins to peek over the horizon, casting a golden light over the landscape below. Enjoy your breakfast on top of the volcano providing a unique experience that you won't soon forget.

After your descent, you'll have the opportunity to indulge in a relaxing and rejuvenating massage, which will help soothe any aches and pains from the trek.

The rest of the day is yours to relax and enjoy the serene surroundings of Ubud, take a stroll through the local markets, or visit one of the many cultural and historical sites in the area.

The Bamba Team really made my journey one of the most memorable experiences of my life! Still so nice and supportive! They handled everything and responded to each question within a few minutes. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. Especially if you want to do a lot of activities and travel to a lot of different places without feeling rushed. They've also helped me with specific issues that weren't covered by the tour, as well as answering general questions. Thank you so much for making my journey so enjoyable!

I only have good words about our trip to Kenya. The entire experience was totally magical and I struggle to say how fantastic it was. We were fortunate enough to have a brilliant vehicle for ourselves, but we had great luck with David for our guide too. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and nice. Thank you for helping to create this fantastic safari experience. I Highly recommend this company.

Bamba Experience has been the best tour guide I've ever had. Every tour has been a thrilling experience. There are so many things to choose from. Bamba has been extremely helpful in providing us with all of the necessary information for our departures and activities! Bamba has made this a simple and enjoyable experience. I'll certainly tell my friends and family about it! Thank you very much, Bamba!!

Feb 20 2020

We organized a trip through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia on the hop-on, hop-off bus. It made the trip so much simpler for us as first-time travelers because we just had to send an email to arrange the bus, which avoided the hassle of looking for the best price and so on! We also had a number of tours included, they were all amazing and saved us the trouble of trying to find the best offers on our own; it also meant we got to see a lot of stuff we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I will strongly suggest and use again!

Our Bamba tour of Vietnam was fantastic. We had a lot of new experiences and all of the help we needed to make this a stress-free vacation. The well-organized accomodation and transportation were excellent. We will certainly use Bamba in the future.

Jun 25 2019

I had booked our Uyuni Salt Flats & Desert Adventure 3D/2N (Uyuni to Atacama) tour via an Australian travel agency, but they had made an error and refused to assist us or take responsibility. This was very difficult for us because we wanted to have a stress-free honeymoon. I contacted Bamba and I asked if we could talk on the phone so they made the improvements to our tour reservation that our travel agent declined to make. The quality of service was exceptional and they generously offered to us a complimentary gift because it was our honeymoon. I can't say enough good things about Bamba.
