In the remote southeastern corner of Assam, the area around the Barak Valley, accessible from Silehar, offers trekking opportunities virtually unknown to the foreigner. A hilltop Siva temple with wonderful views is only a four-hour trek from the foothills. Contact Mr SR Ray, Explorer Club, Shyama Prasad Road, Shillongpatty, T32691.
