Trek Shot
The place is now deserted save for a few grazing cows and foraging domestic fowls. The villagers who were gathered here an hour earlier have left, going down to the city, four hours drive away over rough mountain roads on a four wheel drive truck.
Although the place look lonely now, I find it to be serenely beautiful. The village is in the mountains of Kalinga, nine hundred meters or so high and from this outpost I was able to see the breathtaking beauty of the rice terraces beyond. Seeing the rice terraces was my primary objective in trekking to this place. My friend Jules was insistent on taking me to see the place where he first saw light and I was so grateful, I never expected it to be this awesome place.
I got a bonus of sort with this scenery, really beautiful in its simplicity. I wanted to stay a little longer for still undiscovered wonders but we have to go, we didn’t want to be caught in the dark coming down the mountain.
Someday I may go back and find more secrets in this place of the Kalingas.
