Trunyan village is one of the oldest village of Bali and is presumably belong to the first or second migrants into Bali. They have a tradition, which is very unique that the dead is not buried or cremated, but it is just put and exposed into the air on a narrow spot on the bank of the lake. To bring the corps from the village to the cemetery they use canoe. During the process of decaying there is definitely no bad smell from that. Returning from Trunyan village, you can have lunch at one of the good restaurant located on the west brim of the crater. Penglipuran village is one of Balinese highland village.

Lake Batur

Trunyan village is located on the bank of lake Batur just on the foot of the mount Abang as shown on the photo number 3. Their unique tradition from the rest of Balinese is their tradition of not burrying their dead member. They have 3 cemetries. One is for the normal dead, second is for abnormal death such as fall from the wood during harvest of greenery for the cattles, or certain sickness which is considered very dangerous, and cemetry for the children.For the normal dead person the corp is not burried like the rest of Balinese, but just put on the narrow spot of land on the foot of hill and just exposed to the atmosphere until the whole flesh disolve from the body and left only the bones. There is really strange because the expored dead body in Trunyan normal cemetry is not radiationg bad smell. Many people say that it is just because of the water absorb the bed smell or probably the tree that is known to name Maja tree can absorb the bed smell. As a matter of fact Trunyan village has been recorded on king charter in the 10th century. A temple dedicated to the God of Bhatara Datonta is clearly mentioned 1000 years ago to be maintained and worshiped.
