My plans change often. But this time was a bit different.
I stayed in Kohima for two days, using the time to explore the town, walk through fascinating markets and taste some interesting Naga cuisine. I then loaded up the bike and set off for Imphal (Manipur). But, the bike had other plans.
I only made it to the petrol pump in Kohima before she stopped working and extended my stay. Turns out it was a good thing because later that day there was a cyclone warning issued.
2 more days holed up in Kohima, thankfully, with great company and good food. With the weather forecast looking bleak and the bike only limping along, I had to take the call to not ride further and head back into Assam instead.
The end of the North-East adventure now seemed nearer than ever before.
