When it comes to animals at tourist sites, monkeys are probably our least favorite. The ones at Mount Popa in Myanmar or the Sacred Monkey Forest in Bali, for example, can be highly aggressive—grunting, hissing, screeching, lunging, clawing, biting, and stealing. They pick fights with visitors, they pick fights with each other, and they poop everywhere. (It goes without saying that the monkeys probably wouldn’t behave this badly if not for the tourists feeding, taunting, and otherwise provoking them.)

But all things being relative, the large tribe of rhesus macaques inhabiting Galtaji (a.k.a. Monkey Temple, a.k.a. Khole Ke Hanuman JI Temple) in Khania-Balaji, India, are pretty chill. The ancient Hindu site is nestled in the Aravalli Hills about 6 miles outside Jaipur. It’s built into towering pink sandstone and boasts multiple levels with grand pillars, ornamental murals, and seven holy water tanks used by pilgrims for bathing.

The monkeys like the springs, too; you’ll often see them diving, swimming, and preening nearby. They’re given the run of the place because, like cows, monkeys are sacred in India. The occasional spat does break out, so stay vigilant; we saw one poor guy get his ears boxed by a primate after creeping too close with a camera.
