India Warnings and Dangers: 262 reviews and 174 photos
All over India, you'll see monkeys. They're in the wild of course, and they're also city residents in many places. There are species that have become quite "at home" living all around the human world. The word co-existence comes into play, and there may well be some quiet relationship between the monkeys and the humans in and near their world.
But you as the visitor.... it's a simple plan for you. LEAVE THE MONKEYS ALONE. I was warned by numerous guides and Indians, almost anytime we'd notice a monkey in town, or on a fence nearby. The monkeys may be cute, especially the little ones. And they may seem quite harmless and fun-loving. But, they have sharp, sharp teeth and are know to be very agressive if they feel threatened by your approach or interaction. The is especially true if you get near a mother with a baby... it's a good way to be savagely attacked, and bitten many, many times.
And of course, a few of these monkeys may be familiar with the rabies virus... something ELSE you don't want any part of.
So, the plan is simply. Keep your distance and watch them play. But, leave the monkeys alone.... unless you'd like to learn more about Indian emergency medicine.
