The engine wakes you before the jungle does — a low rumble that becomes heartbeat as you're guided from the staging area onto loamy tracks. Within minutes the rice paddies flatten into a mosaic of green terraces and the trail narrows into a shaded corridor where palms and jackfruit brush the handlebars. You cross a rippling stream, slide through clay ruts and, if the group lets out a shout, splash through a shallow water pass that throws up a clean spray of air.
