From the moment I set foot on this adventure, I was captivated by the rich history and vibrant culture that enveloped me. Exploring ancient structures and intricate temples opened a window into a past that felt alive, each site telling a story of its own. I particularly savored the local cuisine, with each meal introducing me to bold flavors and unique dishes that I’ll surely miss.
