You pull on a helmet, the air heavy with mango and cut grass, and the estate yawns open ahead — old stone buildings, broad palms, and a river that seems to dare you to follow it. The e-bike hums under your feet and the landscape answers: carved limestone hollows, teak plantations, and the slow work of farmers tending sugar cane and fruit trees.
