Pusuk Monkey Forest is situated 30 minutes from Mataram in lush tropical forest between West and North Lombok. The area is a protected natural reserve and the habitat of the native macaque. These small, grey monkeys have become quite tame and accustomed to people. They can be seen along much of the roadside and can be hand fed at the summit, which provides views back to the west coast. If you forget to take your own bag of nuts you can buy some at the summit.
