Culture & Heritage
Glide across tranquil waters and experience a journey shaped by local culture, lakeside beauty, and a sense of discovery that feels both peaceful and unforgettable.
Set out from the shores of Lake Batur, where calm waters mirror the surrounding volcanic hills as your boat gently makes its way across the lake. The ride itself is a quiet escape — cool mountain air, still water, and views that shift gently with every passing moment.
The journey leads to Trunyan Village, home to the Bali Aga people and their centuries-old traditions that remain distinct from the rest of the island. Here, discover a unique ancestral burial custom unlike anywhere else in Bali, where the dead are laid to rest above ground beneath a sacred taru menyan tree — its natural fragrance said to ward off the scent of decay, giving the village its name.
It's a rare glimpse into a living tradition, offering a deeper understanding of Bali's cultural roots beyond its beaches and temples — a peaceful, thought-provoking experience best paired with the stillness of the lake itself.
