What to expect
The morning begins with collection from your accommodation, followed by a short drive to the trailhead. Your guide leads a steady walk through thick forest, stopping to explain plant uses and point out bird calls. You'll reach the lakeside temple complex after roughly 90 minutes, then swap boots for a canoe. Paddling is gentle; even non-swimmers manage fine on flat water. You'll drift past overhanging branches and listen to the forest. After exploring the lake's far shore, you paddle back and enjoy a buffet lunch before returning to your hotel.
