More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You start before dawn on a narrow lane, the air still cool and the rice fields dark-green under low clouds; your guide checks your helmet and the village begins to wake — roosters, smoke from cooking fires, a farmer already knee-deep in a terrace. The road rolls gently, rivers daring you to follow them downstream and small temples appearing at crossroads like local waypoints.
