Bali’s Day of Silence – A New Year ‘s Celebration Unlike Any Other

Also celebrated as the ‘’Bali Day of Silence’’, Nyepi Day in Bali is a unique New Year Celebration!  It is the quietest day of the year when all the Balinese locals abide by local rules and observances, which includes halting all routine activities. Even the roads in Bali are completely void of any traffic given the fact that nobody leaves their houses.

A much-anticipated occasion, many tourists and expats choose to stay in their Seminyak beach resort including the likes of Anantara Seminyak Bali Resort given the strict set of local rules which surround the festival. The exceptional day of absolute silence marks the turn of the Ska calendar which has its origins in Western India. It also happens to be among the many calendars which have been assimilated by the country’s many cultures.
