Nyepi is a Balinese Hindu celebration that marks the start of a New Year, where the island will stay in complete still for 24 hours

Nyepi in Bali is a day like no other. A day where each and everyone (non-Balinese Hindu included) on the island is required to participate in keeping the lights, sounds, and activities to a halt.

One of the riches of Indonesia that should not be missed when traveling here are the traditional dances. Each region has its own dances, and they carry their own meanings. In Bali alone, there are numerous dances. UNESCO recognizes three genres of traditional dance in Bali, Indonesia, as intangible cultural heritage. These three genres include Wali (sacred dances), Bebali (semi-sacred dances), and Balih-balihan (dances for entertainment purposes). You can witness these dances in temples or during special occasions.
