Chembra Peak

Yesterday, The GE and I climbed Chembra peak.  It was wonderful to be out in the country without benefit of jeep or anything else.
The climb was steep, strenuous and worth it.  We clambered after our hired guide, Ferguson the Goat Boy, guides being a requirement and means of keeping locals employed.

We were in a group with four other foreigners, two of whom we had met at Muthanga. 

It was a glorious day, with a long walk through the tea plantations until we reached a town where we could catch an amazingly crowded bus home to Kalpeta.
