Day 12 - Sivasagar - Nimatighat - Shillong

Today was the day to head out for the Largest river Island in the world.That is 'Majauli',but who knew the plan is going to be spoiled by the unplanned Assam Bandh.

I went to the Shiva temple in the morning to seek some blessings  .The temple is one of the most sacred temple,and was constructed by the Ahom rulers.

Day 11 - Tinsukia -Dibrugarh - Sivasagar

Today was the laziest day of my trip.I traveled or should i say i crawled for 119 Kms in the entire days.Late start to the day,blame it to the last night beer party i had at Tinsukia.Also i had to do some office work today so planned to take out the second half to do that.

Day 10 - Roing - Tezu - Namsai - Tinsukia

After an awesome adventure ride of Annini,I started my journey towards Tezu.Having absolutely no idea,what route to take and what places to visit..I started inquiring with the locals about the route options available.Everybody came up with 02 set of options.First one is the long one which is 30-40 kms extra and the second one is short cut..Which has river crossings and is quite lonely and dangerous for an outsider like me.I risked to take second route as i am fond of the shortcuts.Which later on turned out as a pretty good adventure.

River crossings,Multiple routes,Not even a single soul to advice which route to take,scary jungle,bike almost got stuck in a river crossing..where the water was till my knees.At few moments i was pretty scared,if something happens here no body will even come to know for a month or so.

Day 9 - Etaun - Annini - Roing

A perfect night it was.Good food,nice and clean room/bed without spending any single penny.With morning tea and vote of thanks to BRO peoples,I started for Annini.In the Roing Annini routes i found lot of gates bang on the road,hanging on the wire..which was usually tied with a tree.The door was sort of automatic in the closing part,I had great difficulty crossing all such gates.Because by the time you open the gate and start your bike to cross the gate..its gets closed.This was more like a video game,time trail or something  :P

Day 8 - Dholaghat - Roing - Etaun

Started for Dholagat in the morning to catch the ferry and cross the mighty Bramhaputra.Usually the ferry services starts from 06 AM morning,but the frequency of the ferries increases by 08 AM.
I had to wait till 07:00 AM,till me and my bike got a lift in one of the ferry.Saw an under construction bridge which is expected to be completed by 2014.Not many bridges ply in the northern side of Bramhaputra in Assam,infact there is none.The only way to cross the river is via Ferry.It costed me 70 INR in all,which was okayish for a ferry ride of 20-30 mins.



Not even the small cars,but the trucks can be crossed from one side to another via ferry services.And trust me they charge minimal rate for the services they are providing,so don't bargain
