Secure loose items
Monkeys are skilled grabbers—keep glasses, phones, and snacks zipped away or held firmly to avoid losses.
Wear grippy shoes
Stone steps and root-covered paths can be slippery; closed-toe shoes with good tread improve stability.
Timing matters
Visit early morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds and the hottest part of the day when monkeys are most active.
Respect sacred areas
Observe temple boundaries and signs—some shrines remain active worship sites and require quiet and modest behavior.
