5.Deserted Temple in Karangasem.
Nobody knows why the construction of the temple in Tista Village was never completed. It has lainforgotten for many years and all the statues, ornaments and stairs covered with moss. Withall the rumors about this temple, many are afraid to visit it.
6.The Necropolis of Trunyan.
The best for last. What do you expect from the village wheredeceased people are laid just like that under a huge, shady tree? In the village of Trunyan, we can see the dead everywhere. The localshave a habit of neither cremating nor burying the deceased family members.The bodies are just laid on the ground, hedgedinwith a bamboo cage to prevent scavenging animals from eating them. Some of those bodies are rather new, still with flesh and skins, some of them are half-rotten, and the rest are just skeletons. But in a place filled with rotten bodies, you wont notice any bad smell.The tree, known as Taru Menyan, is allegedly the secret behind this. The sacred tree prevents the bodies fromreleasing their odors.
Boo!
