Sangeh

Sangeh is one of the interesting tourist resorts in Bali. It is a small village 20 km north of
Denpasar and home of the large attractions on Bali; the monkey forest Bukit Sari.
The monkey forest is famous for its old temple and, of course, the many macaque monkeys
that rule the place. The temple, Pura Bukit Sari, is supposed to have been built in the 17th
century. In the temple yard there is an interesting statue of the mythical Garuda bird.
According to Balinese tradition, this place is mentioned in the Hindu epical poem
Ramayana. The legend says that the monkey god Hanuman took control of the gigantic cosmic
mountain Mahameru in order to kill the evil demon Rawana. A piece of the mountain with
monkeys clinging to it fell down on Sangeh and since, then, the monkeys have lived here.
The monkeys are of the same species as those in Ubud, but a lot more obnoxious. If you
bring food, they will more than likely jump on top of you to grab the goodies. By all means do
not try to take it back or pet the animals, they may bite. If you follow these simple rules, they
make no problem and are just funny to look at. You can hire a local guide at the entrance who will
show you how to treat the animals and also scare away the most nasty of them. As usual do not
have any loose belongings as they can easily be stolen by the monkeys, and to be safe and sure
you can bring a stick.
