I loved the Monkey Forest, despite the light fingered thievery that was going on (they do warn you to remove sunglasses, hats etc) I found the forest to be a beautiful and calm place. The banyan trees are stunning and the added joy of the monkeys larking around is not to be missed. The occaisional scream can be heard and... More

It was interesting and a pretty location in the trees. However, we noticed some tourists were teasing and egging on the monkeys. One particular guy was dangling bananas but not giving it to the monkeys. More and more monkeys started coming and he was getting them hyper. At that time a mom and her kids (1 was around 3 yrs...

We went here with our 2 children, aged 5 and 6. We didn’t stay long. The good things here are that it’s a nice, scenic area, and you get to see many monkeys, often playing together, and some babies.

Just watch the mayhem unfold!!! This is the simply the best game to play at the Monkey Forest, bring a camera because your gonna get... More

Definitely worth a visit, but make sure you keep your belongings tucked away out of sight of the pesky little macaques. I felt very uncomfortable since I was scared monkeys were going to jump out at me (which they do) but if you're less wary you'll be fine. More

We went there on a bit if a wet day. We decided not to take food in as I'm not keen on having monkeys climb on me. I would recommend same to others who feel the same. Apart from the monkeys the forest is lovely and the walk down to where the water rushes through is very picturesque. Definitely one... More

The moneys are interesting to see and the park grounds are beautiful but you do need to be very careful. We saw a young man get his back scratched by a money jumping on him as well as one jumped on my husband's shorts (and not we did not have anything on us to make him jump on him). I... More
