People asked, why do you go through such a great length to fish? What inspires you to do this?...... Yet, I tell myself.... For me, I just want to travel to see and experience the life outside the box, this is an irresistible passion and hunger from my younger days for the unknown places, people and of course finally - the fishes out there!!
Can you guess what this is? Nope, it's not just a fence. It is actually the airport toilet. Great, huh???
17 degree Celsius in the morning. Brrrrr........
The people and its culture,.... the local morning market scene.....
Assamese kingfish, Freshwater shrimp, Hillstream trout, Spinny eels......
Rainbow snakehead, Dwarf snakehead,......
Cordyceps, some kind of the local found medicine and some wierd wierd local stuff....
As it was the rainy season, it rained incessantly every day..... We had to manoeuvre through muddy trails, slippery terrains......, making the journey a tough one indeed.
I hope this old jalopy doesn't sink..... Anybody tried crossing a river this way before????
Oh no, not again......!
Beatiful places......
After 3-wheel reached the end of the trail, the trekking part starts from here to our intended destination,... we went on by foot - trekking approximately 18km away.....
Passing through more villages.....
Once off the beaten track,... it's like civilisation had just vanished into thin air and left only the vast lush green fields greeted us along the way......

Putting up camp for the night by a village house..... I guess we will be the ones (instead of the villager)that drown if it pours heavily tonight......

And here is another adventurous trip with some friends to the Northern interior of Myanmar in search of Golden Masheers.....
This part of the Northern most territory has the least likelyhood of being visited by anyone, let alone outsiders and anglers.... Statistics show that only about 400 - 500 foreigners visit this part of Myammar yearly.....
If you are wondering how Myanmmar's really like, please carry on scrolling down.....
Moving around in Bullock Carts is still the norm in this country.......
Northern part of the Kachin State remains one of the least visited wilderness areas on earth, offering unique opportunities for true frontier exploration with its prestine beauty, exotic cultures and some of the most radical topography on earth...... It provides timeless and unpretentious experiences......
You don't see much big fish being sold here for food,... the locals seem to like to consume small fishes for their daily needs...... I wonder why they don't catch the big ones? Maybe lack of proper fishing equipments!!....
Some kind of the Ray-finned fsh (Schistura kengtungensis)?!!.......
The locals even consume birds too.....
Leaving the local market scene and heading off towards our fishing destination...... For the initial journey we travel by this famous local 3-wheel transport......
Rain and rain and rain and .......... the whole day, non-stop.....
An unexpectedly well built hang-bridge........
Getting into the more and more remote interior part........
After all the hard trekking here comes our dinner time.......
Everything seems delicious when you are really hungry............
