Another popular and must-visit destination in Denpasar (Bali) is its famous Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary. Here, you can observe monkeys in their natural habitat amidst ancient temple ruins. These ruins are more than just an attraction; they also play a crucial role in the conservation of the city’s macaque population.

To delve deeper into Balinese culture and spirituality, consider a visit to the hillside sanctuary of Pura Luhur Uluwatu. This sacred site is home to one of Bali's nine temples, which were constructed to protect the island from evil spirits.

Among the most iconic and hallowed landmarks are the Uluwatu Temple, Tanah Lot, and Besakih Temple. For a deeper cultural immersion, embark on a rewarding hike up Mount Lempuyang to visit the ancient Lempuyang Temple, which is one of the oldest pre-Hindu temples on the island.
