NYEPI
Nyepi: Bali’s New Year's Day of Complete Silence Nyepi is the most important and sacred Hindu holiday on Bali and is a general public holiday in the rest of Indonesia, commemorated every Isakawarsa (Saka new year) according to the Balinese calendar ( in 2020 , it falls on March 25 , Saka New Year 1942 ).

Expats and those coming from neighbouring islands prefer escaping Bali for the day due to the restrictions that surround this observance. Some visitors check coinciding dates ahead
