Nyepi Day

3 March 2022 is Nyepi Day, an important Hindu celebration marking the Balinese New Year. Meaning “Day of Silence” this is a day of reflection and any activity that may prevent that is prohibited.The day is marked with a public holiday and restrictions are imposed on any kind of noise, travel, entertainment or work. Although tourists are free to do as they wish within hotels, nobody is allowed to leave the hotel premises between the hours of 6am and 6am the following day.  Hotels will remain operational but with limited staff and Bali airport will remain closed.

The three days before Nyepi Day are full of festivities, including vibrant processions and a ritual called pengrupukan, where locals chase away evil forces with loud instruments. Nyepi Eve is full of colourful parades, however as soon as Nyepi Day comes, Bali is completely silent.
