TRUNYAN, THE UNIQUE VILLAGE
Trunyan village is a
unique village, beautiful, and little lurid to me. I said that unique because
there if local people die the bodies were not buried,
or burned like tradition in Bali commonly, but just put in the village cemetery.
Beautiful, because trunyan located in the side of Batur lake, so if you want to
go there you should througt the lake by boat, you will see the village looks like natural,
the air felt so cold and the last is lurid because when I first time came here,
the first destination was local cementary, I saw with my own eyes the real
skull of human and other human bones,
but, it didn’t smell bad.
Local
people said it because the Taru three, it can covering bad smell from corpse,
and I thought yes, there a big Taru in that cemetery. After that I and my group
tour
surrounded trunyan, on foot. I saw
traditional haouse, local temple, and i knew they lived with nature, customary atmosphere was thick. Sometimes many children of trunyan asked for money to tourism, but local
adult people of trunyan, always said “ don’t give them money” and I think that
good idea, to teach the children that is not good way.
The view from Trunyan was wonderful
to see mount Batur. Located in Gianyar regency, just 1 hour from the airport. And
you need 45 minute to go to this village by boat. Before you go there you may visit
Batur temple, its one of historic temple in Bali.
