More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive before the heat thickens: a narrow valley opens between two low mountain ranges and the road drops into pale brick ruins rising from green grass. The engine idles; your English‑speaking driver points to the first tower cluster and suddenly centuries feel near. My Son’s weathered red bricks jut like phrases of a lost language—short, deliberate, and worn by monsoon and war.
