Trunyan & Kuban


The village is sandwiched between Trunyan Lake and the outer edge of the crater. t is inhabited by Bali Aga people.

Trunyan is known for the Pura Pancering Jagat with its 4 meter high statue of the village Guardian spirit, but tourists are not allowed go inside. There are also some traditional Bali Aga-style dwellings and a large banyan
Tree, he spoke to over 1100 years.



A little further Trunyan and accessible only by boat, the cemetery is on the Kuban. The People do not bury or burn Trunyan their dead - they lie, they Bamboo Decompose cages. AA collection of skulls and bones lies on a stone platform. This is a tourist trap for those with macabre tastes.
Boats leave from a jetty near the middle of Kedisan, where there is a ticket office and a car park with a few pushy vendors.

Tourists are not allowed to catch the public boat. The price for a four-hour return trip - Kedisan-Trunyan-Kuban-Toya Bung- kah-Kedisan - depends on the number of passengers, with a maximum of seven .
