Question 1

What’s unique about Trunyan Village in Bali, and why should I visit?

Accepted Answer

Trunyan Village in Bali has a unique cultural heritage and burial practices. Unlike other parts of Bali, where people typically cremate their dead, the Bali Aga people of Trunyan place their deceased in bamboo cages under a special banyan tree. This allows the bodies to decompose naturally while the tree’s scent helps mask any odour.

Can I witness a sky burial ceremony in Trunyan Village?

Accepted Answer

While it is possible to witness the aftermath of a sky burial in Trunyan, observing an actual ceremony is rare and generally not accessible to tourists. The remains are left in open air, and you can see the bamboo cages and skulls arranged at the cemetery, offering a profound insight into the village’s unique mortuary customs.
