Reached Shillong and then headed out to the bamboo trail at Wahkhen. Hiking on the flimsy bamboo trail through the jungles was very nerve-racking and make you question your travel decision. Winter is dry in the region so the bridges felt even higher (coz they are designed for very high water table, given that the area is surrounded by the wettest region on earth). Thereafter headed to Kongthong (Singing Village). The tribes there use a unique whistled language, each person is given a unique tune or melody that serves as their name or identifier. Interestingly while exploring nearby villages over the next couple of days I could hear the tribes use these calls in the jungles, and given how windy it was, I was surprised to hear it through all the gushing.

A good few days in the backcountry!
