Listen "Bali’s Enchanting Day of Silence"
Episode Synopsis
Nyepi, also known as the Balinese Day of Silence, marks the Balinese New Year and is a unique spiritual and cultural event observed in Bali. Taking place each year following the new moon in March, the entire island completely shuts down for 24 hours—no lights, no music, no transport, and everyone, including tourists, must stay indoors. The day is dedicated to reflection, meditation, and self-purification, providing an opportunity to disconnect from daily chaos and embrace stillness. People prepare by stocking up on food and water beforehand, and some may choose to fast during this period. With no light pollution, the stars become particularly visible and beautiful. All businesses, including the airport, close, creating an atmosphere of profound peace and introspection throughout the island.
