Zoological sights in Ubud

  1. Mandala Wisata Wanara Wana

    This cool and dense swath of jungle, officially called Mandala Wisata Wanara Wana, houses three holy temples. The sanctuary is inhabited by a band of grey-haired and greedy long-tailed Balinese macaques that are nothing like the innocent-looking doe-eyed monkeys on the brochures.

  2. I Gusti Nyoman Lempad's House

    This house is open to the public, but it's mainly used as a gallery for a group of artists, which includes Lempad's grandchildren. There are only a few of Lempad's own paintings and drawings here. The Puri Lukisan and Neka museums have more extensive collections of Lempad's drawings. The family compound itself is a good example of traditional Balinese architecture and layout - Lempad was also an architect and sculptor. It's also home to many animals in cages.
