Balinese Cultural Calendar (Saka Calendar): Pengerupukan & Nyepi Day

Bali is a magical place for families, and experiencing Nyepi, the Balinese Day of Silence on March 29, 2025, offers a unique opportunity to connect, unwind, and embrace a different kind of holiday. But before the island falls into serene stillness, you and your families can enjoy the lively Pengerupukan celebration, held one day before Nyepi. Kids will be amazed by the spectacular Ogoh-Ogoh parade, where giant, intricately crafted demon figures are carried through the streets and later burned to symbolize the cleansing of negative energy. It’s a night filled with excitement, colors, and cultural wonder, an unforgettable experience for children and parents alike.

Then comes Nyepi Day, when Bali takes a deep breath and enters a peaceful retreat from modern life. With no traffic, no noise, and no distractions, it’s the perfect time for families to slow down, share meaningful moments, and appreciate nature. The following day, Ngembak Geni, is a time of joy and togetherness, when families and communities come together to start fresh, making it the perfect ending to a truly special cultural experience. If you're looking for a unique family getaway where adventure meets reflection, Bali during Nyepi is a must-visit destination!
