Ubud and Tanah Lot Sunset Tours

👉 Ubud Village
Ubud is often regarded as the cultural heart of Bali. “UBUD” is derived from the word “Ubad” which means medicine, as the town supplied medicinal herbs in ancient times. A former principality, Ubud has several palaces and Brahmin mansions, as well as beautiful house built in the Gianyar architectural style.
The modern Balinese art movement began here (see article titled “Painthing”) when artists first began to abandon purely religion and court scenes for scenes of everyday life. Ubud is home to many respected local and western artists.
The cultural image of Ubud is paramount to the best museum in the country. The Puri Lukisan, a Museum of Fine Arts established in the 1950′

👉Monkey Forest at Padang Tegal Ubud
The monkeys within the Sacred Monkey Forest of Padang tegal are commonly called long-tailed macaques. Their scientific name is Macaque fascicular. Macaques are found throughout Southeast Asia and many species of macaques live successfully in areas that are heavily utilized by humans. On Bali, there are Balinese long-tailed macaque troops (populations) that live in areas where they have little to no contact with humans and troops that come into contact with humans on a regular basis.
However, despite the fact that many species of macaques thrive in areas that are heavily utilized by human, there is evidence that the viability of Balinese long-tailed macaques (the ability of macaques to continue to thrive) may be dependent upon the conservation of Bali’s forested areas.
Within long-tailed macaque societies, females are typically born into and remain with a single troop for life. In contrast, adult and sub-adult males may migrate between troops (young adult males typically leave their natal troop between the ages of 4 to 8 years. In order for a migrating adult or sub-adult males to be accepted into a new troop, migrating males must align themselves with a troop’s females and be accepted by those females. Therefore, long-tailed macaque societies or troops are made up of “Matrilines” (“Matri” is a root word that means “mother”).
