Nyepi 2025

Nyepi is approaching in Bali – a day of complete peace, when all activities on the island stop. Restrictions will begin as early as March 28 – from midday, businesses will begin to close as employees go home.

The beginning and end of Nyepi are traditionally accompanied by gongs and bells – at 06:00 am on March 29 and 06:00 am on March 30.

What is prohibited on March 29?

• Leaving your home or hotel
• Turning on the lights and using electricity
• Watching TV, listening to music, using the Internet
• Carrying out active events and making noise
• Flying, swimming or moving around the island

Different conditions may apply in hotels – some will have limited service, while in others, guests must remain in their rooms.

Power outages and Internet outages are possible on the islands of Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan.

This year, Nyepi coincides with Eid al-Fitr (Lebaran) on March 30-31. This means the island will be overcrowded and heavy traffic is expected from March 27 to April 2.
