October offers less rain and lower temperatures in this Indonesian paradise. Expect to reach highs of 88 degrees, which is average for Bali. The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary in Ubud is not to be missed. A sprawling nature reserve, this unique forest is home to temples, shrines, and over 600 Balinese Macaques monkeys. Babbling brooks, moss-covered ruins, and intricate tree roots make this a remarkable experience. Be warned: the monkeys will take any food or water from your bag (or pocket), so leave them at the hotel.
A trip to the Elephant Safari Park in Taro (a 45-minute drive from Ubud) is an excellent way to spend a day. You can ride and feed elephants, watch them perform, and enjoy a meal overlooking the magnificent scenery. Next stop: a trip to the Tegalalang Rice Terrace in the Tegalalang village just north of Ubud. Or, sign up for a more in-depth and intimate cycle or trek through the region.
