Uluwatu is a small village on the west coast, south of Jimbaran. The temple is inhabited by large number of monkeys, who are extremely adept at snatching visitors' belonging, including bags, cameras and eyeglasses. Before we reached the temple, our tour guide warned us to remove our accesorries and keep our belongings safe.
The monkeys here were much more aggressive than those that live in Monkey Forest in Ubud. They would rush up to you and try to grab things out of your hand, or even out of your pockets or bags, and were quite scary. If you do have something taken, the monkeys can usually be induced to exchange it for some fruit or tipits. Needless to say, rewarding the monkeys like this only encourages them to steal more. Locals and even the temple priests will be happy to do the job for you, naturally in exchange for a tip (Rp 10,000 - 50,000).
Behind the cuddly facade lies a cunning thief. We joke that maybe the monkeys are being trained to do this dirty tricks in order to earn more tips.
Some of the monkeys here are being feed till big belly and unable to jump anymore.
Long-tailed Balinese Macaque- Look closer, they have "David Beckham" hair sytle - short and chipped hair, long and messy locks, gel-waxed floppy hair, long at the top and cut short through the back and sides, as well as other weird combinations of medium-sized patches and shaven top sectors.
