Toya Bungkah

A stop over for travelers who climb Mount Batur and has a hot spring presumed to have therapeutic traits, Toya Bungkah is one of the most interesting site around Batur crater area.

From Toya Bungkah, boats cross the lake to Bali Aga village called Trunyan. This place is notorious for its mortuary traditions. Instead of cremating the dead, as Balinese do throughout most of the island, the Trnyan community leaves the bodies to decompose naturally in a special cemetery.
