It takes at least three days to visit Nafakhum-Amiyakhum-Satvaikhum-Velakhum. As many travel group events as I have seen, everyone is going on a Friday-Saturday-Sunday plan. This means that if we target Thursday-Friday-Saturday, we will be one day ahead of everyone else. This is a plan. The whole of Nafakhum-Amiyakhum-Velakhum has been visited by tourists. Again on Friday-Saturday. I have been able to enjoy the solitary full moon in Jinnah Para without any haw-kau.
Let's go back to the main trip ...
DAY 0
On Wednesday night at 10 o'clock 6 of us left for Alikadam by bus. Going through Alikadam is also part of our plan. It will take much less time to reach Thanchi. The beauty of Alikadam-Thanchi road can also be seen.
DAY 1
The bus dropped us off at Alikadam bus stand at 8 am on Thursday. I had a quick breakfast. Then I left Alikadam in Chander's car for Thanchi. This path is very familiar to me. I have gone this route twice more this year. Strange whirling beauty at every turn of this path. But this time this path took on a new look in front of us. Suddenly, looking at the right side of the road just before Dim Pahar, my eyes widened. It's like an ocean of clouds! Nature can be so beautiful? The beautiful view I got from the front of Dim Pahar and 26 Kilo checkpost, the trip was paid off before I set foot in Khum.
Arriving in Thanchi, I ate light food and chess in the BGB canteen. Our guide Emon Bhai had already completed our entry work in the BGB camp. We quickly went to the police station, packed our lunch, packed our lunch and boarded the boat at around 11 in the morning.
The beauty of the Sangu River is hard to describe. The hills on both sides were arranged in layers and our boats were moving forward through the middle of it. After crossing Tindu Barapathar and Rajapathar, we reached Remakri at around 1 pm after a boat journey of about two and a quarter hours.
Our main trek started from this remake. After walking for about half an hour, we sat down next to a jhiri and had lunch with packets of food brought from Thanchi market. Then walk again. Sometimes I had to cross the river Sangu, sometimes through Jhiri, sometimes through hills. As soon as I found the dry food and tea shop on the way, I was getting better after drinking tea. Thus, after about two and a half hours, we reached Nafakhum around 3:30 pm.
At the end of the monsoon, before the winter, the water of Khum is very clear. There is no one but us in Nafakhum. The afternoon was so enjoyable. Everyone took a few pictures and this time I captured the frame. Then I drank another cup of tea and started walking again. Because we have a long way to go today.
We started walking towards Jinnah Para. Another two and a half hours drive from Nafakhum. The body no longer wants to move. I have been in the journey since 10 o'clock the night before. The biggest problem is that it is difficult to trek with a backpack and other belongings. Meanwhile, daylight is running out. At night, the walking speed will actually decrease. So the distance of the path can be reduced as much as possible by having daylight.
At one point the sun went down. Darkness descended on the mountain. But then the light of the full moon in the sky. The light in the water of Jhiri looked strangely beautiful. It was 7:30 pm when we reached Jinnah Para.
Our guide Emon Bhai had already fixed a house in the neighborhood. I left the bag and took a bath and got fresh. Emon Bhai got busy cooking a chicken weighing one and a half kg. We are sitting on the floor of our house watching the full moon and chatting. When the cooking was over, we ate dinner and chatted for a long time and everyone went to sleep.
DAY 2
I woke up around 8:30 in the morning. After a quick refresh and breakfast, I left for Amiyakhum-Velakhum-Satvaikhum. I found out last night that Jinnah Para and Thuisa Para have been joined by two other groups besides us. So we left a little early in the morning.
Fifteen minutes walk from Jinnah Para to Thuisa Para. The sun has not yet risen. Wrapped in fog all around. So it was nice to walk. On the way I found a tea shop and had tea. Then the trail gradually went up. I am getting up. At one point the guide said, this is the peak of the god mountain. I have to get off now. This is the mountain of the terrible gods heard by the people. We started down the Devta hill. As soon as we laughed, we crossed the Devta hill in 50 minutes.
After the deity descends from the hill, Velakhum on the right and Amiakhum on the left. We arrived that day as the first group. So I decided to go around Velakhumta alone. We sat on the raft. The color of the water is very clear greenish blue. Rocky hills on either side, rafting through the middle. The beauty of this Khum cannot be explained in writing.
When we came back from Velakhum, I saw another group coming. They will also go to Velakhum first. And we went to Amiyakhum. I was fascinated by the clear waters of Amiakhum. How beautiful! How strangely beautiful! After getting the empty amyakhum, everyone took pictures as they wished.
Then I sat next to Amiyakhum and ate lunch. After eating and drinking, some very enthusiastic members of the team went to see Satvaikhum.
Now it's time to return. The gods have to cross the mountain again and this time they have to get up. It took us about 55 minutes to get up. On the way back I went to Nicholas Para. Phone network is available from this neighborhood. After about a day and a half, everyone started talking on the phone at home.
When we came back to Jinnah Para, it was 5 pm. At that time Jinnah P.
