The first steps into Kon Chu Rang feel deliberate: red dirt gives way to a green that presses in close, trunks shouldering sunlight into thin, dappled beams. By midday the jungle hums — cicadas tune up, leaves shift like a living roof, and somewhere ahead the falls are already speaking, a low, persistent drum that draws you onward.
