02Large religious statues along the approach
03A forested central-plateau setting
A REALISTIC PLAN
HOW TO ORGANISE THE VISIT
Arrive quietly, walk the main lake area and combine the visit with one nearby plateau or forest destination rather than a beach itinerary.
LOCAL CONTEXT
PRACTICAL ADVICE
Dress respectfully, follow signs and never interrupt worship. Plateau rain and mist can arrive quickly.
