Pusuk Monkey Forest

Pusuk Monkey Forest is a roadside forest area along the Pusuk Pass in Batu Layar, West Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. Located on the main winding road between Mataram and North Lombok, it is known for its population of wild long-tailed macaques that gather along the roadside. The cool, forested mountain pass offers scenic views and a popular stop for visitors traveling to northern Lombok and the Gili Islands.

Visitors can expect a forested mountain pass with a winding road bordered by dense tropical trees. Groups of long-tailed macaques are commonly seen sitting along the roadside, on guardrails and in trees, often approaching vehicles and visitors. There are small roadside stopping areas, viewpoints overlooking valleys, and local stalls selling bananas and peanuts for feeding monkeys. The area is an open, natural roadside stop rather than an enclosed park.
