Sacred Monkey Forest of Padangtegal
Featuring over 115 species of trees, many of which are
considered holy and used in various Balinese spiritual practices,
the Monkey Forest in Ubud is a fantastic place for kids to spend
the day exploring. Children can see the Balinese long-tailed
Macaques up close as they scramble through the forest and banyan
trees and lush tropical vegetation. There are also a few temples to
explore while visiting the forest.

Language
Bahasa Indonesia is the official language, but many
dialects are spoken. English is widely understood in Jakarta and
tourist resorts.
Money
Rupiah (IDR) is the official currency and is divided into 100
sen. Foreign currency can easily be exchanged at banks, hotels and
money changers in major tourist destinations; US dollars is the
most accepted currency. Cash often yields a better exchange rate
than travellers cheques, which are not always accepted. It is
recommended that travellers cheques also be in US dollars. Most
major credit cards are accepted at hotels, restaurants and stores
catering to the tourist trade. ATMs are available in main centres.
Small change is often unavailable so keep small denomination notes
and coins for items like bus fares, temple donations and cool
drinks.
Opening Times
Time
Indonesia spans three time zones. GMT +7 (West, including
Java and Sumatra), GMT +8 (Central, including Bali, Sulawesi and
Lombok), GMT +9 (East, including Irian Jaya).
