More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You set out at first light, the low sun cutting across stepped rice paddies and the wooden stilt houses of Lan Village. Dew lifts from narrow footpaths as your guide leads you past spinning cocoons, handlooms clacking, and the slow, steady spin of ancient waterwheels. The air smells of wet earth and fresh-cut grass; the stream below seems to coax you down to the bamboo raft waiting at Cham Stream.

Hat, sunscreen and a light rain shell keep you comfortable through changing mountain weather.
