Trunyan village

Trunyan village is located on the bank of lake Batur just on the foot of the mount Abang . 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.

  5. Pretty amazing but quite creepy! I can't imagine how they could live with this kind of life. The dead people were very exposed to the villagers. I'm wondering if there is any disadvantages for the health of the people in the community. About the Maja tree..hmmnn..it sounds so magical. I want to visit this place, and found out some more odd things on my own. Thanks for sharing this post to us. I greatly appreciated it.

  9. Amazing and creepy story. It is really a big question that a dead body has no bad smell while it is in the state of decomposition. Is there any professionals who investigated or studied the said matter? This post is great. Another additional information is added to me as well as to others. Thanks!

  11. Wow, I would like to see that cemetery for sure. I bet its creepy with all the skulls hanging around, like in your first picture. Its good though, that there isn't a bad smell, that would probably make the place a lot less visitable. Thanks for the post, man!
