Balinese Heritage Village
This experience invites you to explore Trunyan Village, one of the Bali Aga (Ancient Balinese) villages that continues to preserve its ancestral traditions and unique way of life. Located on the eastern side of Lake Batur, Trunyan offers a distinctive cultural atmosphere that differs significantly from most Balinese communities, making it one of Bali’s most remarkable heritage destinations. Trunyan is widely known for its unique burial tradition, which differs from the common Ngaben cremation ceremony practiced in other parts of Bali. After undergoing purification rituals, the deceased are neither buried nor cremated. Instead, they are placed beneath the sacred Taru Menyan tree and covered with bamboo structures known as ancak saji. The name Taru Menyan means “fragrant tree,” and it is believed that the tree naturally absorbs any odor from the bodies. This tradition remains an essential part of the village’s cultural identity and has been passed down through generations. During this journey, you will learn about the daily life and customs of the Trunyan community, visit the historic Pura Ratu Gede Pancering Jagat, and cross the lake by traditional wooden boat (pedau) to reach the burial site. This experience offers meaningful cultural insight and a deeper understanding of Bali’s diverse spiritual and ancestral heritage.

All dyes are derived from natural materials sourced from the surrounding forest. Through this experience, you will gain insight into the philosophy, craftsmanship, and cultural significance behind this extraordinary textile art while enjoying the authentic atmosphere of a traditional Balinese village.
