Dawn lifts off the terraces in ribbons of mist as your motorbike slides along a narrow ridge road—rice paddies falling away to either side like folded steps. On this four-day loop you move between highland passes and village trails: the engine’s thrum, the tang of wood smoke, and the quiet of long-cultivated fields shape the day.
