The engine thumps and the jungle breathes as you put a thumb on the throttle—mud and rice-terrace dust spray behind the UTV while a guide radios directions through the canopy. The route moves from narrow village lanes to river fords and a short tunnel, then opens to wide views over stepped rice paddies that tilt like terraces carved into the hills.

History

Conservation
