Bali, Indonesia is one of the world’s most popular vacation destinations. But one day a year, the entire island falls silent. That is on Nyepi, Balinese New Year. Unlike many other cultures, Balinese Hindus don’t mark the new year with fireworks, parties or drinking. Instead, they observe Nyepi, or silence. For 24 hours starting at 6 AM.
