Trip to Trunyan
The village of Trunyan is squeezed tightly between the lake and
the outer crater rim of Batur, an almighty volcano in Kintamani.
This is a Bali Aga village, inhabited by descendants of the original
Balinese, the people who predate the arrival of the Hindu Majapahit
kingdom in the 16th century. It is famous for the Pura Pancering
Jagat temple, but unfortunately visitors are not allowed inside.
There is also a couple of traditional Bali Aga-style dwellings,
and a large banyan tree, which is said to be more than 1,100 years
old. At Kuban sub-village close to Trunyan is a mysterious cemetery
that is separated by the lake and accessible only by boat, there
is no path along the steep walls of the crater rim.
