Morning on Fewa Lake opens like a slow exhale: mist lifts off flat water while local boats cut gentle wakes toward Barahi Temple. You meet your minibus at Lakeside and, within an hour, the city's edges give way to limestone cliffs, caverns and a river that has carved its way through rock for millennia.
