through hot forest and reeds to the water |

(11) Finally we get into a taller, humid, hot forest and again the many wet branches and bamboos are especially tricky obstacles. Through a narrow strip of tall reeds the path then leads unexpectedly into the river, I mean into not to the river, there is no river bank here, and from the narrow walk through the thicket one can only go directly into the water. The Nagas wade in immediately. The river is not deep here so they only get wet up to their knees. On a narrow bank of rubble they climb out again. Here already lots of people have gathered. |
