Green trail trek Donigal to yadakumeri contd2

Previous	next

As time passed, the miles passed so did the mist and fog around us. It was slowly becoming bright and hot and our shirt became wet. slowly the bags around my neck had made a mark. A dip in the water was very much needed. and then we saw this...





and started posing ;)









These posing gave us a nice break and then we carried forward. We passed through a tunnel and there was a bridge on the other side. It was very beautiful with a stream flowing below it.





After this bridge there was a steep path that will take us to the stream. we readily climbed down that and made it our lunch destination. First we took a nice bath. Its been quite some time since I took a bath in a stream.(May be last was Pangong Tso). The water was a cooler and it took saw all the sweat.



After a good 15 min bath we gathered around for food. To our Dismay, the rice has become sore ;( luckily we had some idilies 1 per head and climbed up to continue the trek. The time is 2 and we have 8 more kms left. After this there were a lot of small bridges and tunnels. The tunnel number 11 was the longest with 575m.






And slowly by 5 pm we crept towards the yadakumeri.


And there we got a shock. The place is not connected by roads. Just one train stops in that station and that comes at 4:30am. Which means we should sleep in the platform for the night. To reach a road, one has to trek 4 kms on path that the jungle elephants take or a path that is very narrow that the will lead to a nearby village. There were another 3 guys how took the elephant route and returned back after 2.5 hrs. They lost the route.

So we decided to take the jungle route, which proved to be a BIGGGG mistake.
