NYEPI. Balinese day of silence.

 2022, Nyepi begins on 4th March at 0600 and lasts till 0600 5th March. Nyepi, which means “to keep silent”,  falls on the day after the dark moon of the spring equinox.  This is when day and night are of approximately equal duration. No one leaves their homes, hotels and even the airport “Ngurah Rai” closes for 24hrs!

Walking in the rice fields.

Walking in the rice fields.

The village road behind Angel House is the perfect place to stretch your legs and exercise or an opportunity to take some fabulous photographs. Although the road is paved, there are almost no cars, maybe a few scooters but many local Balinese who will be out walking or working or flying kites when the winds are right. Angel House is located a short stroll from the beautiful rice fields or SAWAH in Mas Ubud. Watch the farmers tending the fields and admire the ducks.
