At night the sky seemed to be very beautiful filled with stars which when looked at would make anyone stay up all night stargazing.  Sleeping under the stars, bonfire, no network connectivity only human connections and wonderful feelings.

Day 2

Morning sunrise was mesmerizing around 5.30am. All the domestic cattle feel comfortable near the warmth of the bonfire.

Toilets had no water facilities so we had to Fetch water from a tap water on a hilltop, well just for a day this can definitely be compromised for exploring a wonderful place.
Felicitation program was organized for the village Pachayat heads by NEAO.

We crossed the river by interlocking our hands all together (team work) because the river waves were too strong.

After that we went to a site to look for hilghoria fish.

All my friends dived into the waters and swimmed across the river with enthusiasm.
We ate (hilghoria fish)Labeo dyocheilus  bamboo-shoot in a local village home which was finger licking good.

At the end with a delicious meal and a little rest we packed our bages and set out for our next destination.

Again traveling on a “chota hathi”truck we went Baliso, from there by trekking we reached the

Balisso salt mountain which was again a beautiful site too see and learn about new places. It is believed that many birds and animals come for consuming salt from this mountain. Every thing was very peaceful and quite.
