Trunyan Cemetery, Cemetery at Lake Batur, Indonesia
The cemetery contains human remains placed in bamboo cages at ground level near Lake Batur, surrounded by steep cliffs and pine forests.
Ancient inscriptions from 882-914 CE mention the establishment of a temple dedicated to Bhatara Da Tonta near this cemetery location in Trunyan.
The Bali Aga community places deceased bodies under bamboo structures beside a banyan tree, following traditions that predate Hindu influence in Bali.
Access requires a boat ride from Kedisan dock at Lake Batur, with current transportation costs reaching approximately 650,000 Indonesian Rupiah per person.
The large banyan tree at the cemetery naturally neutralizes decomposition odors, allowing bodies to decay without creating unpleasant smells in the area.

Around the world, thousands of airplanes, ships, and vehicles reach the end of their service life and are sent to storage or dismantling sites. These locations mark the final destinations of transportation machines: some wait in the Arizona desert where over 4,000 military aircraft are preserved thanks to the dry climate, others are anchored in Suisun Bay in California as strategic reserves, while still others are dismantled at industrial sites in Chittagong, Bangladesh, where workers recover metal from large commercial ships. Some of these sites have taken unusual forms: in Bangkok, former passenger planes have been converted into homes where residents live; in Alliance, Nebraska, 39 gray cars replicate the exact arrangement of Stonehenge. From Roswell to rusted wrecks in Staten Island and abandoned radioactive vehicles near Chernobyl, these locations tell the comprehensive story of machines that have transported generations of travelers and goods.
