The cycling route was well-planned, offering beautiful views and a chance to see the local way of life. The highlight was definitely learning about and tasting fresh toddy. The guide was friendly and informative. The only minor downside was the heat, so make sure to bring plenty of water. Overall, a highly enjoyable experience!
