Nyepi Day

Signifying the beginning of a new lunar year, this festival usually falls during the spring equinox (late March, early April). On this day, all people (including tourists) must remain silent, and no-one may work, travel or partake in any indulgences. It is advised that visitors observe this local custom, and remain within their lodgings for the day.
