Member Para to Khamchong Para Trekking 7 hours journey

Hello

Everyone, I think you all are doing well. I was kept busy in some of my academic works so I couldn’t write after my last post. So I am here today to share my trekking experience.

From my last post you now that we stayed in 'Member Para' a village of hill tribes for the night and in the next morning we would go to "Khamchong Para" another hill tribes village.

Khamchong Para is a hill tribes village in Alikadam which is situated about 1700 ft above the sea level. There is about less than 20 family lives there. We were going there because it is close to the Hill named 'Kristong' which we wanted to summit.

We would stay in the village for the night and the next day we would summit the hill. Khamchong Para is about 30 kilometres far from the Member Para. We would get only a 4 kilometres ride by jeep and the rest of the way will be completed on foot. So It’s pretty much exciting lets get into the journey.

We got up at 6:00 in the morning and boiled a degchi of water and made our noodles for the breakfast. At 6:30 am we bade goodbye to the owners and other members and started our trekking. There was a light mist all around. The bushes were full of dews and our pants and shoes were getting wet. But the cold weather was good for trekking. We need to cross about 3 big hill and some small ones too. Our legs were sore and it was getting difficult to climb the first mountain. Moreover were pretty tired too. The weight of the bags were average 4 kilogrammes. We were running out of our breath after crossing a little distance. Everyone was trying there best to keep up the speed. We need to track for three hours to reach the 17 kilo where our jeep was waiting for us. It takes about half an hour to climb the first mountain and we were too tired. So we took a short rest for ten minutes and again put ourselves together.

The red sun started to peep upon us. There were varieties of flowers on the way, the light mist around us we were huffing but enjoying the view. After trekking for total 3 hours we reached the 17 kilo. We took a little rest there and board into the jeep.

Me and one of my friend and some other locals sat on the roof of the jeep.

Our jeep started to roll. We would travel 4 kilometres by this jeep and it would drop us at Tindu-Thanci Road. The sun was now shining brightly, we could saw the mountains clearly, colourful flowers all round us. The road just goes up and up. The jeep was moving slowly so we could enjoy the natural scenario. I could fell the heat of the sun. It took about 1 hour to complete this 4 kilometres.

Now we would walk the rest of the way. At first there was brick road so it was easy to cross that part. The brick road also went up and down.

As were entering deep the road was about to end and we could saw the forest and there was actually no road we need to go through the bushes and made our own way. But we didn’t know what was waiting for us inside those bushes.

We were going through the tall grasses were around us, insects buzzing around, the sun shining, wet soil under our feet, we were enjoying the adventure. Suddenly we encountered hundreds of spider, and they didn’t look so innocent, they looked poisonous. The threads were covering the whole way.

As we were destructed by the spider another thing took the advantage. We were now under attack of leech. It may seem to you that leech may attack but there were hundreds of leeches around us. We could see that the leeches were coming towards us. I thinking we could imagine the horrific scene. We couldn’t rest for 10 seconds as we stand in a place we got a leech climbing our body. We all got bite from the leeches. I count up to 13 leeches in my body then I give up another member count up to 17. So the trail became more pathetic. You couldn’t take rest for 10 seconds. We were out of water after 2 hours and 4 more hours to go. We were too tired. One of us vomit on the way. We saw a centipede about one feet long orange in colour with black strip. We were going like this no water, devastated body, checking our bodies after few minutes. At one point we started to eat dry glucose. We crossed about 6 mountain to reach Khamchong Para. At last we reached after 4 pm.

After entering the locality we checked our body I found 4 leeches in my pants, everyone got some too. Then we got into our house and took some rest and went to a near waterfall for bath.

The water was too cold, but nothing to do we had our bath and returned to the house. After a evening snack we started to prepare our dinner.

I cooked the dinner. We all had a stomach full and then were making our bed and then went out to enjoy the night.

The sky was full of big starts the peace and tranquility around us we could the mountains around us.

Tomorrow we will summit the Cristong Peak and Rurang peak.I will share the summit experience with you guys and those are more thrilling. Till then be safe keep safe
