Look beyond the disaster headlines and discover a can-do country of open-hearted people (not to mention tigers, tea plantations and the world's longest beach). Chug down mile-wide rivers, fish with otters, hunt for honey and marvel at the resilience of a country in the process of banning petrol vehicles and plastic bags - and creating a flurry of national parks.
