hi! deepa yes a trip to the eco camp to nameri is a must .we had done that in
Jan last year . guwahati to eaglenest is about 300-350 km away and takes a good
8-9 hours.so this way u could utilise yr first day well .or otherwise u could
do it on the way back as it falls between eaglenest and kaziranga.enjoy the
trip all these places are simply out of this world.bye
nitu

Hi Kiran, Could you let me know your mobile/landlin contact no? We are going to
visit Eaglenest and Kaziranga in Dec and since Mohan's brother will be meeting
up with us at Shillong, we have a couple of days extra now; we are trying to
see if we can push in Namdapha as well.Since you have been there, you could
give us an estimate of distances and times.
As of now, our schedule looks like this:
December
Sun 7 reach Guwahati.
Mon 8 travel to Eaglenest (If we can travel to Eaglenest on the 7th afternoon,
do you think we can reach by night? that would give us an extra day there)
Tue 9, Wed 10, at Eaglenest
Thu 11 6am take a car/van to Kaziranga
Fri 12 Kaziranga (Wildgrass)
Sat 13 early morning van to Dibrugarh, reaching there at 11am catch a train
from there to Miau (or by road) taking 4 hours; stay in Miau.
Sun 14 From Miau, 20 km by road, and then 5 km trek (because of a landslide) to
Debang
>From Debang(?), walk / ride back to Haldibari
Mon 15 5 km trek to Hornbill, evenin 10 trek back to Debang
Tue 16 Trek and then vehicle back t Miau, and then car to Dibrugarh, where
overnight train to Guwahati
Do you think this kind of trekking is feasible (Yes, we *are* reasonably fit,
but we don't want to overdo things and fall ill!) or should we stick to
Kaziranga/Nameri instead?
Do let me know your thoughts; Mr Khupla Singhko, the person who is organizing
our trip, is saying that porters will be carrying our stuff while trekking.
Sorry to burden you with this Kiran..but we do need to ask someone who has been
there!
Thanks, Deepa.
