Zakhama

Zakhama, Nagaland, India. Erstwhile home of the fabled 8 Mtn Div of the Indian Army. A place which evokes strong nostalgic memories tinged with sweet emotions and adventurous escapades. A true blue isolated Cantonment which gives wings to your dreams and makes you ponder about the delicate intricacies of life while soaking up the beautiful vista of the forest covered rugged mountains.

Part of my promise to my best friend Maj Lisandra Karen Fleisher, USMC for a trip to the back of beyond. The weeklong trip started at the beautiful jungle resort of Iora at Kaziranga Wildelife Sanctuary, Assam and meandered through Tezpur, Jorhat, Mokokchung and finally culminated at Zakhama.

The hills, the winds, the clouds, the mist and the beautiful company made this a truly inspiring trip. Have a lot more to pen down but will do so later when time permits. For now, its bye bye from the land of the Headhunters!
