The trek started from Hong village and the team reached Pange via Moko, covering some 5 kilometers on the first day. The next day, they trekked all the way to Talle Valle, covering 15 km. The third day was for exploration of the enchanting valley. They visited the abandoned helipad and the rhododendron grove in the valley. They returned the fourth day, via Maniipolyang.
This time of the year is best if one is interested in talle, the onion-like vegetable after which the valley has been named. Scores of colorful wild flowers adorn the routes while butterflies with intricate designs flit around. The early blooming red Senji have started drooping and buds of differently colored rhododendrons have started blooming.
Sitting on the steps of the camp at Talle, nibbling at talle hamañ, one can feel the cool wind blowing by hiibiñ and watch the long-tailed Palyu piita flying from branch to branch in the tall niiri piisas.
A trend has been started and hopefully will continue in the days to come.
Very interesting. Some more inputs are required to explore Talley Valley by posting Flora and Fauna found at Talley Valley with their descriptions on usage and other information on wildlife. Such trekking should promote on -ECO-TOURISM. We Apatanis should learn and promote to earn by means of preservation and conservation of wildlife, forest, etc. Lets NOT DESTROY NATURE with shortsightedness eyes.
