Stop At: Trunyan Cemetery, Jalan Raya Truyan Kintamani, Kintamani 80652 Indonesia

Trunyan is a traditional Balinese village, located on the shore of Lake Batur and at the foot of Mt. Abang in Indonesia. This culturally isolated village is primarily inhabited by Bali Aga (mountain Balinese) people. These people are mostly oblivious of the outer world, more conservative, and still follow olden Neolithic customs. One of the weird customs followed by the villagers is that the dead bodies here are not cremated in conventional manner but are left to decay in a bamboo cage in open. When there’s any new death, the old bodies are removed and replaced with the recent ones. The bones of the older bodies are then taken away and the skull is placed near a Taru Menyan (banyan tree) which literally means ‘a nice smelling tree’. This tree exudes a fragrance that cancels the smell of decaying dead bodies.
