After a one-hour bus ride and a four-hour hike, we have reached the river that flows past the little village of Ram Bazaar, which lies in a valley that marks the start of the 4-hour climb up to our final destination. Before we embark on the final push up the hill to Daduwa, Rae, Raju and I have a chance to get off of our feet and refresh ourselves with a good lunch of rice, lentils and curried vegetables. The river that we crossed in 2 trucks about 8 months ago (taking a team from Health Care Ministries to Daduwa for a 5-day medical camp) is now swollen with run-off from the late summer rains. At that time, the water was clear; but in this clip you'll see that it's a muddy brown due to the large amounts of silt being carried with it down the valley.
