Do you want to see the whole life cycle in one day?

Witness its origin by meeting the dawn on top of the active Batur volcano and observe its natural completion in the “village of the dead” Trunyan. To do this, touch the secrets of Bali-Aga tribeThe tribe living in the village - the indigenous Balinese, has preserved its traditions and beliefs. These people live in balance with nature and profess animism.

The cemetery of the village is a mystical place, shrouded in a halo of legends and became famous thanks to a special tree that exudes an unusual aroma. You can get to this place only by boat through the lake at the foot of Batur volcano and only with a guide. Instead of Trunyan village, you can visit the ancient temple of Pura Hulundanu Batur Songan, located near Lake Batur. According to the beliefs of the Balinese, the temple brings harmony and prosperity.

The local cemetery is not a burial site in the ground. Bali-Aga leave the bodies of deceased by the roots of Menyan tree. At the same time, no unpleasant odor emanates from the remains. Bali-Aga believe that if you burn the dead, as the Balinese Hindus do, the Batur volcano will get angry and begin to erupt.
Despite the unusual way of their life from our point of view, an unusual calmness is felt in the village, as if the whole world had found the long-awaited harmony.
