You step off the van into a wide, low light that skates across shallow water—Junam Wetlands stretches flat and restless, reeds leaning as if listening. Migratory flocks wheel and land in silent choreography; in winter the white-naped cranes stake a regal claim, in summer lotus pads bloom like green coins across the floodplain.
