CN Traveller

Identify the location on page 136 of Cond! Nast Traveller July 2015, and send in your entry to arrive by 30 July 2015. All correct entries will also be included in the Grand Prize draw at the end of the current competition period (1 October 2014-30 September 2015).
Clue: All seems quiet and still now but not so long ago this dusty plain - known as the Sea of Sand - was enveloped in a swirling cloud of smoke and ash. In the middle of the plateau is an active volcano, and every so often it rumbles and belches forth bubbling lava and hot black rocks.
The rectangular construction left of centre is a Hindu temple, and the volcano itself is named after the god of creation. There is a curious tradition among devotees from nearby villages of making offerings to the mountain spirits by hiking up to the 2,329-metre peak to throw fruit, vegetables, flowers and even livestock into the volcano.
Its origin comes from a 15th-century legend about a childless princess and her husband who begged the gods to help them have a family. The deities granted the couple 24 children but demanded that the 25th child be hurled into the fiery mountain as a human sacrifice. Today there's a risky side to the ritual. Some local people climb down the steep sides of the smoking crater and try to catch the food thrown in by worshippers. And 11 years ago two visitors were killed by rocks from a volcanic explosion.

Imagine stretching out on one of these day-beds, dipping into the pool every so often to cool off, sipping a lemongrass-spiked cocktail. The Sarojin is a romantic, friendly hideaway in 10 acres of lush gardens, which lead onto a secluded beach on the shores of the Andaman Sea. Tucked away among the palms is the Pathways Spa. Come here for body treatments using local herbs and plants. Learn the alchemy of Thai spicing in a cooking class, snorkel off the Similan Islands or explore Phang Nga Bay in a sea canoe.
In the evening eat under the canopy of a ficus tree or plump for seafood with ocean views at The Edge restaurant. Enter this month's Where Are You? competition and you could win a five-night holiday for two people at The Sarojin, with Audley's Hidden Beaches. The prize, worth £2,500, includes accommodation in a Garden Residence room on a bed-and-breakfast basis, return flights from London and transfers. The holiday must be taken before 30 September 2016, excluding 23 December 2015 to 28 February 2016.
