26th February. Had a good deal of difficulty in procuring coolies this morning, however I managed to get them at last and moved to camp into Biphuma. The first 3 miles of our journey was down an almost perpendicular descent after which we crossed the Zubja (or Rangamapani as the river is called after it debouches into the plains) and another 4 miles of very stiff ascent brought us into the village. I may here add for the benefit of my successors that this so-called road between Sepamah and Biphuma is one of the very worst in these hills, often a mere track scarcely six inches wide along a precipitous cliff over which I should never recommend anyone to try to take a pony. |
