Secure Your Belongings

Monkeys are naturally curious animals and may try to grab at loose items that they come into contact with; keep phones, cameras, and sunglasses out of reach of curious monkeys at all times! Moreover, direct eye contact between people and monkeys could be seen as an imminent threat by both sides - avoid it to ensure an enjoyable visit experience!

Do Not Feed the Monkeys

Feeding monkeys disrupts their natural diet and causes aggression, do not dole out food to them.

Dress Respectfully

When visiting temples, it is appropriate to dress modestly, covering shoulders and knees for a better experience.
