The Day of Silence, or Nyepi, is a Balinese holiday that people celebrate sometime in March. It is a day for self-reflection. Therefore, activities such as working, traveling, entertaining, or even talking loudly are prohibited. The local airport is also closed. You will see only policemen and emergency vehicles on the streets. On this day, tourists have to follow this practice, too.
