点评:For intro: nice tough trek, took us around 4 hours down & uphill.
We went in July 2024. The weather was pleasant when we reached. We reached a bit late around 12pm. Started trek to the village around 1pm. While going downhill, we were extremely excited as the steps were very steep yet safe due to the grills provided in between along the route. But we had a very thrilling feel if we will be able to make it to the top back in time before sunset. Coz as we kept walking down, it felt like we were not covering enough distance but still needed lot of rest.
By the time we reached the village it was 2 pm. We knew it was going to be a hard trek back uphill. So we took some time taking rest, had some water at the village school.
Village locals are nice people by nature but don't communicate in Hindi or English, only speak Khasi. Also there is no shop or anything of that sort.
We started returning and took rest every 10 mins, and that helped. Took some toll on us but main issue was thirst. We didn't carry enough water with us to reduce load (around 1 Ltr a person should be enough). Climbing up seemed easy once we put on some music on our portable bluetooth speakers (really helpful). In between rest, we enjoyed the beautiful view of the valley behind us and it made our trek worth it. Reached atop around 5pm.
The weather here is unpredictable, better carry an umbrella. Might help in rain and against sun as well. We went down in foggy weather, trek uphill under extreme sun exposure, when we reached it was foggy again.
Tips: start bit early, avoid unnecessary load, carry sufficient water, take enough rest stops, move in group and never leave anyone behind.
翻译:介绍:艰难的徒步旅行,我们花了大约 4 个小时上下山。
我们于 2024 年 7 月出发。到达时天气宜人。我们大约在中午 12 点到达,有点晚了。下午 1 点左右开始徒步前往村庄。下山时,我们非常兴奋,因为台阶非常陡峭,但由于沿途提供烧烤架,因此很安全。但如果我们能在日落前及时回到山顶,我们会感到非常兴奋。因为当我们继续往下走时,感觉我们走的距离不够,但仍然需要大量休息。
当我们到达村庄时,已经是下午 2 点了。我们知道上山的路会很艰难。所以我们休息了一段时间,在村里的学校喝了点水。
村里的当地人天生就是好人,但不会用印地语或英语交流,只会说卡西语。而且也没有商店或类似的东西。
我们开始返回,每 10 分钟休息一次,这很有帮助。对我们来说有些负担,但主要问题是口渴。我们没有带足够的水来减轻负担(大约每人 1 升就足够了)。一旦我们在便携式蓝牙扬声器上放了一些音乐(真的很有用),爬上去似乎很容易。在休息期间,我们欣赏了身后山谷的美丽景色,这让我们的徒步旅行值得。下午 5 点左右到达山顶。
这里的天气变幻莫测,最好带把伞。在雨中和防晒时可能有用。我们在雾蒙蒙的天气下山,在强烈的阳光下徒步上山,当我们到达时,天又开始起雾了。
提示:早点出发,避免不必要的负担,带足够的水,在足够的休息站休息,结伴而行,不要把任何人落下。
