Indian traveller’s ordeal after monkeys snatched her sunglasses at Bali temple.

The video, which has now gone viral on the internet, showcases an Indian traveller’s ordeal after monkeys snatched her sunglasses at a Bali temple. She has now warned visitors about aggressive monkeys at one of the island’s most famous temples. In a post on the social media platform X, Priti Jain said aggressive monkeys snatched her expensive sunglasses while she was visiting Uluwatu Temple. The Uluwatu Temple is as famous for the hundreds of long-tailed macaques that live on its premises as for its dramatic cliffside location. The monkeys are known to steal items such as phones, sunglasses, and jewellery from tourists. Jain, however, did not think she would become their victim.

The Indian traveller shares her incident of monkeys snatching her sunglasses.

The Indian tourist said in an X post, “Monkeys in Bali, especially at Uluwatu Temple, are SCARY and an absolute MENACE. They are constantly hunting to snatch your phones and sunglasses.” Priti Jain, a chartered accountant, said she did not expect her sunglasses to be snatched while visiting the Hindu temple. She said, “I had seen all those videos… did not think I myself will become the victim until it actually happened.” For her Bali trip, she had bought a new pair of power sunglasses. She wore them for the first time and lost them within seconds. She shared the video showing a monkey sitting coolly with her sunglasses. In one clip, she was heard saying regretfully, “Yaar, this is not done.” In her post, the Indian woman explained that she has very high power and would have had trouble seeing things if not for the spare pair she was carrying. She wrote on X, “I have a very high power (-4), and thankfully I had a spare, or I would be roaming around almost blind. Even after I wore my normal sunglasses, still managed to escape another monkey attack. Just a very, very bad day for me.”

Priti Jain further said, “The ONLY thing that kept me sane that day was that I wasn’t wearing my Prada sunglasses, and the fact that they didn’t take my phone, or else I would have genuinely broken down. It would have been a very, very expensive heartbreak.” She ended her post with a warning to tourists asking them to be “very careful” when visiting UluwatuTemple. She said, “Honest take: be VERY careful here or just skip it. Not worth the stress,” adding that the monkeys were even targeting young children. She advised, “For sunset, there are much better places in Uluwatu. I was chilling at Malini Cafe, and I really don’t know why I insisted my husband head to Uluwatu Temple, maybe because I wanted to see the Kecak dance, but that was also just about okay, nothing extraordinary.”
