Nyepi – Bali's Official Day of Silence (From Bali With Love)


Give the Earth a Rest!

Nyepi - a Balinese word for silence, is the name given to the first day of Balinese lunar calendar when it is the religious obligation of every Balinese Hindu to dedicate an entire day to quiet introspection and spiritual cleansing. During this day, the entire island of Bali comes to a complete standstill; the airport closes, streets resemble ghost towns and visitors are confined to their hotels for a 24 hour period. Nyepi will take place on March 7, 2008 this year.
