A low ridge rises out of farmland as the bus drops into the village road; neem and tamarind lean over dirt tracks while the distant waterfall keeps time with the wind. The day begins with a short trek through fields and mud-brick lanes, farmers at work, and a stream that dares you to follow it toward rock slabs where water gathers into cool pools.
