You will find many shops start to close early the day before Nyepi Day. Traffic will increase as locals make their way back to their villages and homes. You must stay within your hotel grounds from 6am on Nyepi Day until 6am the next day. You must be very quiet at your hotel (or residence) during the evening/night with no lights visible through the windows.
You will also find many shops will still be closed the day after Nyepi.
I'd never go at Nyepi time again unless I was their for 10 days or more - which is why I'm booked to fly back the day before next year lol. :)
