Monday 18th November Got up an hour ago and it's now 9:30 and I'm in Imphal in Manipur the most eastern state of India next to Burma. My notes really aren't doing this trip justice and it doesn't feel like I'm even touching on the majority of things that have been going on. Last time I wrote feels like a month ago, but I will see what I can remember while typing this. So, to continue from the last blog…. After seeing more around Tawang including th...

Friday 15th November Ok I just woke up and had a fairly hot shower which was great, Dinku is hibernating (it's cold) and Piyush is snoring like some kind of rhino. It's almost 8am. I'll try to keep this brief as I need to wake these guys up soon, but to continue the blog…. Plans didn't work out.

This was the bus stop that when we arrived a few days ago going the other way there were people running alongside the bus as we were pulling in, look for potential customers/business. As it was so early in the morning there were not many of these guys this time, alth...

22:45 Thursday 7th November (Continuing from where I finished in the last post) No luck getting the train, I'm on a bus but will try to carry on from where I was (still trying to catch up to where we really are)…. So we rode an elephant to the entrance and into the fort, which was just like a tuktuk….haha no just kidding it was nothing like that. It was great and feels really high. Our elephant was called Champa and was almost a baby, but still massive. Pi...
