The terraces are working farms. The walls are paths because there is nowhere else to walk, and the people farming them are your hosts.
- Walk in single file on the walls, and step aside for anyone carrying a load.
- Never step on the planted side, and keep away from the water channels.
- Ask before you photograph people, and accept a no.
- Pay the village fees: they keep the paths and walls repaired.
- Buy your water and snacks from the village stores.
Your guide will tell you whose fields you are crossing. Saying hello, even in English, goes a long way.
