Off to Sindoro Assembly hut (Tea
Plantation) .The tea plantation
is an ideal place for relaxation. The
fresh clean air brought new life to everyone.
We have started climbing and it was really a race against
daylight and the elements. The trek was pretty straightforward with more and
more shrubby plants and rocky terrain but it was not too difficult.
It really feels good to be lost in the right
direction. The view from our campsite is just so breathtaking.
