Trunyan is Bali’s best known Bali Aga village. Bali Aga refers to the pre-Hindu animistic beliefs of the Balinese, which religion and culture is only practiced in a few remote villages today. It is believed that an ancient Taru Menyan tree stood on the spot where the village was founded, thus the name Trunyan.
