These miners extract sulfur from the crater floor, working in harsh conditions with minimal protective gear.

The work is incredibly physically demanding, making it one of the most grueling jobs in the world. After hiking back down, enjoy a much deserved breakfast.

Shrine bases and white sandstone walls are covered in arrays of carvings, inspired by the great Hindu epics with a mixture of characters from fables and legends such as serpents, menacing demons and guardians.

We'll embark on a tour of the village and get to know the local people as you wander past plantations, schools, and temples.
