What to expect

You'll be picked up and driven site-to-site in a private vehicle, stopping as long as you wish at each location. The driver knows each temple's layout, the best photo spots at the rice terraces, and which silversmith workshops are worth visiting. You'll walk through villages, swim at the waterfall if you choose, and navigate temple grounds at leisure. Monkey Forest requires watchfulness around your belongings; the primates are bold. Most sites are accessed by short walks on uneven ground. Expect heat and humidity; bring water and sun protection.
