Adjacent to road, partly out of site of road. Flat. Few people. Peaceful night. Not much road noise.
We stayed two nights. Second night police came at midnight. Bit frightening to wake up to find vehicle surrounded by men with guns. But they showed identification and searched truck. Very friendly and professional. Said goodbye afterwards and left. Someone had reported seeing our truck stopped.

It is indeed a quiet place and there are not many places around since the area is pretty populated. But you are also very close to the road and you can be seen.
In our case just after 15 min we got a visit by the "Chief headman" with his wife and some other elder villagers. It was a friendly visit and they allowed us to stay for the night - but everybody knows that you are there if staying here.
