Yes, Polonnaruwa is famous for its troops of toque macaques. They are often seen roaming the ruins playfully and interacting with each other in the trees near the temples.

Never try to feed the monkeys. Just maintain a respectful distance to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience while exploring the ancient city.

They are generally not aggressive unless provoked. Remember to keep your belongings securely zipped and avoid carrying loose snacks or plastic bags that look like they contain food.
