Description

Step into one of Bali’s most mysterious and ancient villages, Trunyan—where traditions have remained unchanged for centuries. Unlike anywhere else in the world, the deceased here are not buried or cremated, but placed openly beneath a sacred tree that naturally neutralizes odor. Your journey begins with a scenic drive to Kintamani, overlooking the breathtaking Mount Batur and its crater lake. From there, take a traditional boat across the lake to reach this isolated village. Guided by a local expert, you will explore the Trunyan Cemetery, visit the sacred Pancering Jagat Temple, and gain deep insight into Bali Aga culture—the original inhabitants of Bali. This is more than a tour—it’s a rare cultural encounter you will never forget. ⚠️ This is a rare and authentic experience—not for the faint-hearted.
