7. Trunyan's Funeral
Visiting Bali would not be complete without visiting Trunyan Village. In this place, you will not find interesting tourist objects like in Kuta or Seminyak, but a very scary traditional cemetery. In this place, people who died were not buried in the ground. They were left alone on the ground covered with white cloth and covered with wood around them. Although left to decompose on the ground, the smell of the corpse was not at all smelled. This area remains fresh because the smell of corpses is absorbed by the Taru Menyan tree.

Still about the cemetery, this time we jump to Tana Toraja. Here there is a unique place called Kambira which has a tree for baby burial. Those who died since childhood and had no teeth would be buried in the Tarra tree. This tree was chosen because it has a very high sap content. Local people think that this sap is a substitute for milk from his mother. Burial in this way is considered to return the baby to its mother's womb to be born again.
9. Dieng Crater
Unlike the Ijen crater which has blue fire, the Dieng crater actually has a crater that can move around. At certain periods of time, hot steam and volcanic materials move from one place to another. Not surprisingly, this crater is named Sikidang which is taken from the name of the animal Kidang (Deer) who likes to jump from one place to another quickly. Sikidang Crater is the main attraction even though it is located in a very cold highland.
