text: Coming towards us we met a lot of completely naked boys from Chinglong who also had been trading in Wakching. Money is not accepted in the unadministered area and no other mode of payment is used but the entire trade takes the form of barter. The walk back also was not at all exhausting and we arrived in Wakching after a hike of three hours.
