A thin morning mist lifts from the terraces as you step off the van and into a landscape that moves around you: terraces stair-stepping down the hills, tea bushes breathing in the slopes, and narrow dirt trails that thread between stilt houses. The first footfall is the loudest—after that the rice fields, the forest and the buffalo settle into a rhythm that carries you forward.
