Mornings on the Telaga Waja feel like the river waking up: mist lifts from fast water, and rafts bob against a mottled bank of volcanic stone. Paddlers push off below the slopes of Mount Abang and move downstream through jungle-cut gorges, rice fields that lean toward the current, and waterfalls that slap the river like a hand urging you forward.
