Simply amazing. The monkeys were everywhere and for a very small few you can take pictures with them. The sanctuary is very clean and peaceful. Just make sure you hold on to your possessions and don’t stare the monkeys in the eyes.

An absolutely magical place you have to experience to believe. I loved how friendly the little monkeys were. Recommend to anyone who is in the area. You have to check this place out at least once!

This was an amazing experience. I had a great time, and it was wonderful seeing monkeys in so many stages of life and being respected. I would recommend this to almost anyone. Make sure you respect the rules, and donate if possible.

Well managed place from gate to gate. Relatively clean restroom and kind staffs. Dragon bridge, Holy Sprint Temple and wooden path are most beautiful among them.

My main review of the Monkey Forest Sanctuary is attached to the forest section itself, but the main sanctuary is very beautiful and worth the walk. The temple is a beautiful centerpiece to the complex.

Very nice place, you enter a temple area with a lot of monkeys around. They are really doing their stuff and won’t bother you if you don’t bother them. The best is to go without bag so they won’t think you have food inside

Exotic, Miyazaki grade vibes. Amazing blend of mind blowing scenery, beautiful architecture, wild nature and, of course, lots of monkeys. The location is unforgettable and I've returned here once more 4 years later just to refresh my memories
