— What You Can Expect —
Get picked up from your accommodation and hop into a comfortable air-conditioned car for a scenic drive to the volcano. Your knowledgeable guide will provide interesting insights into Balinese culture during the journey. Discover two ancient and enigmatic villages on the island and meet a Bali priest or healer to learn about Bali Sekala and Niskala.
Truyan Village will be your first stop. The locals lead a traditional way of life that is markedly distinct from the rest of Bali. They don't cremate their deceased; instead, after a purification ritual, the body is placed in a bamboo cage called ancak saji under the Taru Menyan tree. The tree emits a pleasant scent that masks the odor of decomposing bodies, and this is where Trunyan gets its name. Only the bodies of married individuals are kept in bamboo cages.
Next, you'll visit Bayung Gede, another ancient village believed to be the progenitor of all the old villages in Bali. Visitors come to see the hanging newborn placentas, a unique practice in Bayung Gede. While in Trunyan, the dead are placed unburied on the ground, here it's the placenta that remains unburied. This village is the sole location in Indonesia that follows this custom.
Your tour would be incomplete without a visit to Kehen Temple, a significant Hindu Temple in Bali. It is located on the slope of Bukit Bangli, considered to be the mother temple of Bangli. You'll admire the stunning steps leading to heaven and the temple's unique wooden bell hanging from a very old and mysterious banyan tree.
