4th Day of B.0.A Maha Roadtrip 2013 ( Ziro - NLP )

14th Oct 2013.

I woke up at around 3AM it was dark and cold. As we slept early we got up early. I had bath the water was damn cold. We decided to start early and visit The villages Ziro Valley.

Ziro is a beautiful town of Arunachal Pradesh, famous for pine hills and rice fields. It is the headquarters of lower Subansiri district, is located 1500 metres above sea level.

The Apatani are a tribal group of people living in the Ziro Valley. Apatani are permanently settled in one place and cultivate wet lands while other are nomadic in nature and move from one place to other in search of fertile lands. The Apatanis practice facial tattoos and women wears large nose plugs.

We packed our bags and reached our bikes. We found our Pulsar 200NS rear number plate and its holder broken. The guy who was shouting might have broke it last night.

When he enquired the manager told he was a local guy who was residing in the hotel since last 7-8 days. When we asked the manager to call him he requested not to argue with the locals. He compensated the damaged.

We reached Ziro. We saw the famous Apatanis Villages, its people, Air Strip and beautiful rice fields. We decided to start our return journey to resume our jobs/college on 17th Oct. Two of our members decided to ride further to Daporjio, Arong, Yingkiyong and return via Dhemaji by 20th Oct.We named their ride " B.0.A Maha Roadtrip Xtra Large ".

We clicked a group photo together and returned back while they went to Daporjio. On our way back we enjoyed the mindblowing landscapes of Yazali and reached the residental Colony of Ranganadi Hydro Electric Project of NEEPCO ( 405 MW ).

We had our lunch at Hotel Potin. I tried the Traditional Boiled Chicken. It was yummy.

We reached Crossed Kimin Gate at 6PM and reached Pohumara.

Suddenly Arnab said: Majuli chalte hain kaal

Me: Majuli ??

Arnab: Haa ghar phone kiya tha, Majuli jada dur nahi hain, Papa aha chuke hain.

Anshu: Muru Majuli jane ka maan hain.

Me: pehele Hotel chale, fir baat karenge

We reached North Lakhimpur at aroumd 7PM. It was Vijaya Dashami of Durga Puja. The city was in festive mood. We halted at Hotel Asha near the Bus Stand.

After having dinner in Hotel Punjab near Hotel Asha owned by same owner. We went to our room and discussed. We slept after finalising that we will visit Majuli next day.

^^ Going by your blog, I am assuming that this xBhp travelogue is ahead and the pictures comprehend the 3rd day, right?
I am eager to know further, especially now that you have decided to visit Majuli - crossing over to the other side can actually get you guys home early. Kindly keep us posted and if possible, integrate your pictures with the write-up; that way it becomes easier for us readers to relate.

Re: 4th Day of B.0.A Maha Roadtrip 2013 ( Ziro - NLP )

Yes the photos of Day4 are one of the best photos of the whole trip. The photos of amazing landscapes of Ziro Valley, Potin & Yazali. The Apatani Villages, rice fields & Apatani Huts. If I would have posted the photos as a trailer, the travelogue could have been selected in the " True Wanderer " section. Since I use my mobile most of the time therefore it gets difficult to upload the photos along with the writeup. We were never in a hurry to reach home early. We had an extra day as backup therefore we decided to visit Majuli.We have clicked thousands of photos and captured many videos during the whole trip. We will upload it later, if the thread get good response.

Re: 4th Day of B.0.A Maha Roadtrip 2013 ( Ziro - NLP )

You didn't get my point. Anyways, forget it.

You compiling and posting good stuff will anyways result in good response then why wait? It is directly proportional!

5th day of B.0.A Maha Roadtrip 2013 ( North Lakhimpur - Majuli )

15th Oct 2013

On 5th day of our trip I woke up and found there is a long line up for the bathroom. I checked my mobile and updated the status that we are in NLP & will ride to Duliajan via Majuli.

One of my online friend Vishal Khanikar asked about our location. It was already 9AM, we had the breakfast at Punjab Hotel. we had a long route to cover, so we left the hotel. We asked some locals about the route to Majuli.

The ferry ghat was about 19km away. The first few km of the road was ok but when we came near the ghat we could feel the damaged caused by water during flood. When reached Dhofola Ghat I recieved a phone call from Vishal he said he came to the Hotel and returned back as we already left.

We reached the Ghat. The heat of the sun and sand made us very thirsty. When I checked my bottle it was empty, someone already drunked it. There was a shop but they only keep pan and cigaratte. There was nothing to drink except water collected directly from the river without filtering. I drank the water, it was cool but not so clean.

We took a ferry ride and reached the other side. But we came to know the other side was not Majuli we had to ride 9KM and reach Luhit Ghat where we have to take a boat ride again.

We were riding in an Island. There were no proper road we had to ride through sand, grassland, marshy land etc.
Somewhere we could see buffalo grazing near us.

Me: Ejak boroxun dile ekhon bill hoi jabo, eman ukho ukho kohua aru tolot metaka

Santanu: Koloi je ahisu, rasta thik ase tuMe: Onroading, Offroading, Pahar roading, Bali roading, Meteka roding sob kori lo

Santanu: Maha Roadtrip tu

We reached the Ghat it was a small river compared to the first. There was no ferry but Three small boats tied together. It was big enough to carry a car. We took the boat and reached the other side.

While crossing The Lohit Ghat to Majuli we met a biker Krishna Medhi from Garmurh, Majuli.

Me: Apuni Garmur'or niki, moiu Garmur Satrar hisho

Krishna: Boulok Satra Sai jabo

Me: Gole deri hobo niki, ami ghui jam bhabisu

Krishna: Last ferry gole Satra sai jabo paribo, Iman dur ahise sai jauk

me: ferry nepalu

Krishna: Nepale thokar bibostha kori dim

We went to Garmurh satra and expressed our wish to visit the different satra of Majuli. He agreed to be our guide. He arranged Guest House of Sri Sri Garmurh Satra to stay and arranged fooding in his restaurant which remain 24hrs open in front of Civil Hospital, Majuli.

We got freshen up in the Guest House and had our lunch in his hotel. Then he took us to Sri Sri Dakshin Pat Satra. It was already dark. We kept our shoes in the gate and entered the Satra. I lit the Agarbatis and the earth lamps. The Mandir Doors was closed but there were some young kids practicing Dihanaam. The environment was very pleasent and peacefull.

When we asked the priest told that the Satradhikar was in his room and we could meet him. We went to him and took his blessings. He was very happy to know that we are from different places and ride together. He encouraged us to keep riding together and promote brotherhood in the society. He invited us to the Raas Festival of Majuli again.The priest served us tea and showed the satra.

Then we rode to Sri Sri Auantai Satra. It was a 8.30PM and the satra was already closed. There was no electricity because of Power Cut. We returned to the GarmurhThere was a Play ( Bhauna ) staged in Garmurh Tinali organised by the local businessman in occasion of Sri Sri Srimanta Sankardev Birth Anniversary but we were too tired and decided to sleep in the Guest House after having dinner in Krishna's Hotel.

Last Day of Bikers 0f Assam Maha Roadtrip 2013 ( Majuli - Jorhat - Duliajan )

Re: Last Day of Bikers 0f Assam Maha Roadtrip 2013 ( Majuli - Jorhat - Duliajan )

Good one, bro! Last legs were nicely formatted as well. Your pictures made me miss my roots, so reminiscent!
BTW, how's the road from Neemati ghat to By-pass (Jorhat leg)?

And do post more pictures if you have, 'feels like more is not enough!

Re: Last Day of Bikers 0f Assam Maha Roadtrip 2013 ( Majuli - Jorhat - Duliajan )

Thank you bro, I will surely post more photos and videos. The road to Neemati Ghat from Jorhat by pass is in good condition, well maintained :-)

Re: Last Day of Bikers 0f Assam Maha Roadtrip 2013 ( Majuli - Jorhat - Duliajan )

Udy, the road is good if you go through Charigaon Nimati route, if you go through Lahdoigarh, you gonna hate the journey. The Charigaon Nimati route should be preferred as you can go direct to Kenduguri through that road and taking a few turns reach Garh Ali near Vishal mall, that part pf route should be familiar for you. The Carigaon Nimati road has 8 roadbumps and 2 meter of unpaved road with large stone all over it. The Lahdoigarh Nimati road is narrow and in bad condition. That route has around 12 roadbumps, it's a new custom around here to place roadbumps in front of every mandir, namghar, school and you name it, even a club under a tin shed has roadbumps in front of it. I cover both of the routes twice a day so quite familiar with it.
