Just to address the issue of safety: I can see why a person might feel uncomfortable coming here alone. When we went it was around 3:00 PM and it seemed rather lonely there. There were definitely people around, but not many. Those who were interested in us wanted money for monkey food or tips for showing off a shrine. I... more

DO NOT GO TO MONKEY TEMPLE ALONE OR WITHOUT A LARGE GROUP. After reading good things about the Monkey Temple, I made the mistake of going by myself around 3pm. There were few tourists there and I was the only foreigner at that time. Bought a bag of peanuts outside the gate. Walked through first gate, no problem. Walked through... more

This is the must see definitely! Lots of lovely funny monkeys 24x7. Buy as many peanuts & bananas below the hill as monkeys love it and don't be so afraid of them - just be careful enough. And avoid beggars & guides. Don't forget to descend to see a pond with old buildings around - beautiful views. more

We had been looking forward to seeing this, but were told bad instructions by our rickshaw driver, who obviously didn't want to hang around for too long. So we walked up the hill to the sun temple, asked the person up there where the monkey temple was and he said there was no such thing. Our driver had told us... more

Apparently there are supposed to be 5,000 monkeys in this temple. I have my doubts. But there are certainly a lot. And they climb around. They swim in the pool. You can feed them and if you are lucky they will climb all over you. As a bonus it is also a temple. Surrounded by cliffs and built around a... more
