The highlight of this place, your trip here wouldn't be complete if you missed one of Bali's wondrous traditional performances, their Kecak Dance. It is one of Bali's most prominent culture, however it is not really an 'ancient' tradition. Wayan Limbak and a German artist, Walter Spies created this dance back in the 1930s. Kecak Dance was Ramayana's story adapted into a Balinese dance, and the dance moves were inspired by the Sanghyang Dance. Something unique about this dance is that it needs no musical instruments, instead there are 50 or more male dancers sitting in a circle singing "cak…cak…cakcakcakcak…cak…" as to imitate the gamelan sound, then one of them will be in charge to indicate the high and low notes, and also act as the narrator. These male dancers will only wear a black and white checkered Balinese sarongs wrapped on their waists, while being bare-chested. Dancers that play a major role in this dance will play as Rama, Shinta (Sita), Lakshmana, Rahwana (Ravana), Hanoman (Hanuman), Sugriwa (Sugriva), and other characters. This performance starts at 6pm, so it is best for you to arrive at least at 5pm because it is usually super crowded and if you come late, it will be hard for you to find a seat.

You can find monkeys almost all over Bali. Well known places to see them are Ubud Monkey Forest or Sangeh Monkey Forest, but you can still see monkeys here at Uluwatu, since it is near a forest. Be careful with your belongings though! Sometimes they are sneaky and like to steal your stuffs. However, some can be chill and don't really care about what you are doing. When I went there, most of them were just sitting in the parking lot, but when the Kecak Dance finished and I want to get back to the bus, lots of them were yawling to each other on the trees.
