Our intrepid group of trekkers just outside Tak and ready for anything, well almost anything. Only 13 of the 15 emerged nine days later at the other end, 2 having found the conditions intolerable, were escorted out by the fastest route possible.

Our accommodations were in the homes of members of various hill tribes, usually the home of the village head man.  This village is typical.

We also camped in the jungle under these bamboo and banana leaf shelters, were we ever glad to see them at the end of a long hard slog.

Other nights we needed no shelters and slept on bamboo mats over banana leaves.  It was cold at night and we were glad of our thin self inflating mattresses and down sleeping bags.
