Nyepi is one of the most special days in the whole year. It is a unique island celebration that will give you the chills and the thrills at the same time. Demons and spirits are called upon, seas of offerings are laid about on the streets and purification ceremonies are held all over the island. Nyepi is the Balinese New Year’s celebration and it is all about restoring the balance between Gods, demons, mankind and nature. Instead of starting the new year with headaches and hangovers, the Balinese start their new year with silence, forgiveness and\u00a0a restored harmony between everything that lives on and roams the island – the visible and the invisible.<\/p>\n
