Mon Trip

 We filled our tanks, 23rd October, 6:30 AM

And made this shopkeeper happy by doing his jatara for the day

We traveled miles through tea gardens of Assam

While we waited for our friends in the RRT gypsy car who got lost, we visited these maidams, the tombs of the great Ahom kings and queens

This lovely couple also came and took some pictures of each other

 This beautiful tree at Sonari, Assam is a landmark for one Muslim Hotel where they cook delicious Beef meat. We considered packing some meat in the vaccine carrier which has ice packs, but dropped the idea as the carrier contains precious blood samples

Beautiful waterfalls, just before Mon.

The ADC guest house where we camped

 Loud and clear, showing in which part of the world we are

 Preliminary discussions and preparations the night before the investigation

 Dr. Kevi tried the safety precaution wears

A Morung at Wakching, destination village

This was Civil Hospital before the 2nd World War. It was a nostalgic moment for our team member Dr. Kevi Sekhose as his grandpa worked here in thooose days

 The Wakching Primary Health Centre of today, sadly not so much improvement since the one before WW II

The drinking water source. One of the suspected source of infection for the disease outbreak under investigation.

ENPO has been demanding separate statehood for the four Districts of Mon, Tuensang, Longleng, and Kiphire

 

 This Dr. SMS claims to have permanent treatment for Sex, Dental, etc.

      The glory of Wakching

 Back to Mon town. The town has a considerable no. of thatched houses along with many fine concrete buildings

On our way back, friends bought Rs. 3000 worth of this..................................

 In Nagaland, whichever part we go, there is deforestation. This is a serious concern

Not often...when the one behind the camera gets to come in front of it
