Trunyan, Bali - a mysterious tomb village
The village of Trunyan is closely clamped between the lake and the outer rim of the crater Batur, an almighty Kintamani volcano. It is a Bali Aga village, inhabited by descendants of the original Balinese, people who predate the arrival of Hindu Majapahit kingdom in the 16th century. It is famous for Pura Pancering Jagat temple, but unfortunately visitors are not allowed inside. There is also a traditional couple Bali Aga-style housing, and a large Banyan Tree, which is said to be over 1100 years. In sub-Kuban village near Trunyan is a mysterious cemetery that is separated by the lake and accessible only by boat - there is no path along steep walls of the crater rim. The village of Trunyan itself is located on the shores of Lake Batur. This site is inaccessible except by boat, and it takes about half an hour in the calm waters. Getting to Lake Batur lasts about two hours drive north-east of Denpasar on the main road in Buleleng and Bangli regency. Unlike the Balinese people, the people of Trunyan not cremate or bury their dead, but put in bamboo cages to decompose, but strangely there was no stench. A macabre collection of skulls and bones found on the stone platform and surrounding areas.
