What the Monkey Forest asks at its own gate
The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary publishes its own price list, and it is the cleanest fee on the whole Ubud circuit. An adult ticket is IDR 130,000 and a child ticket is IDR 100,000, as the sanctuary's visit page gives them.1 The site prints these amounts with dots as thousands separators, as is usual in Indonesia. Tickets are sold in the lobby beside the central parking area, where the sanctuary also keeps its information desk.5
Opening hours decide when a ticket is worth buying. The forest opens at 9:00 AM and closes at 6:00 PM, and the last entrance is at 5:00 PM.2 The site's own tour allots the forest a 60-minute stop, so a visit on a tour day has to begin comfortably before that cut-off. On Saturdays and Sundays the open stage next to the cafe offers Balinese dance at 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM, and a weekend visit can be planned around a show if you like dance.6
Younger travelers pay the child rate: IDR 100,000 against IDR 130,000 here, and IDR 25,000 against IDR 50,000 at Tirta Empul.1,3 The sanctuary page does not say at what age the child rate ends, so ask at the ticket window before you queue with teenagers. It also does not list a separate price for cameras or for the dance, which means the ticket line on that page is the only Monkey Forest charge this guide can state.

Tirta Empul: the ticket, the cloth and the parking
At Tirta Empul the ministry's tourism site gives an adult ticket of IDR 50,000 and a child ticket of IDR 25,000, with no separate charge to join the melukat purification ritual.3 The temple was built in 962 AD under King Candrabhaya Warmadewa, and its bathing pool has 30 showers that drain water from the spring.10,11 Anyone is welcome to take part, including people of other faiths.12
Cloth is the next cost. Visitors must wear a kamen cloth and a shawl before they enter the pool area, and should bring a change of clothes.13 If you carry none, Indonesia Travel says a sarong and shawl can be rented for around Rp10,000 to Rp15,000.8 That is small money, but plan it as cash in small notes, and keep it apart from the ticket money so the rental stall does not need change for a large bill.
Parking is the third line on the same page: a motorcycle pays IDR 2,000 to IDR 5,000 and a car pays IDR 5,000 to IDR 10,000.14 The ministry suggests going in the morning, around 8 to 10 in the morning local time, for a quieter pool and fresher water.15 The site tour's listing mentions neither parking nor gate money, so ask your driver who settles the parking before the car stops.
Official figures compared
Gate money in rupiah, as each source states it
Two gates with no official price list
Two stops on the usual circuit have no official fee table that this page can cite: neither the Tegallalang rice terrace entrance fee nor the Tegenungan waterfall fee appears on an official page we can cite, and no figure is printed for either, because a guessed price is worse than none. What the sources do give is practical advice. The ministry recommends carrying cash for the swing beside the entrance, the one with the LOVE BALI sign, because local children guard the sign.7 Treat every small gate in the terraces as a cash gate.
At Tegenungan, visitors go down stairs to reach the water, and a viewing point over the jungle and the waterfall stands at the main entrance.9 Wikipedia places the falls on the Petanu River in Gianyar Regency, close to Ubud.17 From November to March the rainy season brings a stronger flow and paths that can be slippery and less accessible, so pick shoes with grip for those months.18
The Ubud Palace, officially Puri Saren Agung, stands where Monkey Forest road meets the main road, Jalan Raya Ubud.19,20 Parts of the complex remain a residence and parts are open to the public.21 The tour listing gives the palace a 30-minute stop and the traditional market another 30 minutes. The one palace fee the ministry quotes is for the evening dance, at approximately Rp100,000.22

The Bali tourist levy sits above every gate
Before any gate, there is a charge for Bali itself. Foreign tourists entering Bali must pay a tourist levy of IDR 150,000 per person, separate from the e-VOA or the Visa on Arrival.4 The Bali Provincial Government's Love Bali site lists the same amount as the international tourist levy.16 It is a cost of arriving on the island, not a price attached to Ubud or to any tour.
The governor's circular on guidelines for foreign tourists, announced on March 24, 2025, asks visitors to pay the levy electronically through the Love Bali site.23,24 Australia's travel advice adds that it can be paid online before travel or at designated counters at Bali's airport and seaport.4 Do it before you reach Ubud, so the only money left to find is the money the gates ask.
Keep the levy out of your day budget. The site tour's listing says nothing about it, and no tour in this guide's calculator includes it. The same circular asks visitors to dress modestly at temples and attractions, which is why the sarong line at Tirta Empul belongs in a fee plan.24 Put the levy, the tickets and the cloth in three separate envelopes and the day stays easy to follow.

What a tour price covers and what it leaves open
The day this site sells is listed from $59 for 10 hours with lunch, a live guide in English and a maximum group size of 15, and it has 9,225 reviews rated 4.98. The listing does not say whether entrance tickets, the swing fee or hotel pickup are included, so treat gate money as yours until the operator confirms otherwise in writing before you pay.
Other listings handle tickets in different ways. A 9-hour full-day tour over similar ground is listed from $13 and has 4,439 reviews. A tour of 5 to 8 hours is listed from $20; its description offers a small group tour, a private tour that includes tickets and a private tour without them, and says to choose the option with tickets if you want every attraction ticket included. A semi-customized private tour is listed from $23 and says entry tickets are not included and must be paid on site.
A private customized day is listed from $16 with a car for up to 5 guests; its entrance tickets, where that option is chosen, cover access only, while the swing and purification rituals are paid on the spot. A customized option with entry tickets included exists for up to 5 locations in the Ubud area. An all-inclusive private tour is listed from $49. These are starting prices, and the date and group change the total, so the calculator above works from the lowest listed price for each.

- A dry change of clothes if you bathe
Arrange online3
- Pay the Bali levy before you arrive
- Keep free cancellation on the booking
- Plan the forest well before its last entry
The cash to carry on the day
Build the day's cash in three layers: official tickets, small local fees and tips. For the official tickets, count the Monkey Forest ticket for each traveler, the Tirta Empul ticket, and the sarong rental if you need one.1,3,8 The tourist levy is a separate payment, made online if you can.4 Writing the three layers on one card for the driver turns a vague wallet into a plan.
Small local fees are the layer without a source, so carry small notes. The listing for a private customized day asks guests to bring cash because some places do not accept cards. The ministry's advice to carry cash for the LOVE BALI swing at the entrance points the same way.7 Round the cash up for tips and drinks, and keep it where a monkey or a stranger cannot reach it.
Finally, settle the arrangement with whoever drives you. Ask whether the price you booked includes tickets, whether a swing fee is part of it, and who pays parking. Write down the answers; a listing that stays silent on tickets, as the site tour's does, cannot settle a question at a gate. With the three answers in hand, the calculator above shows what a group of your size pays at the starting prices.
