And we are off! With Kabru peaking out in the background, the Goecha La Trail 2024 begins! @Sampan_Travel
Aboard the BG Express into Assam. Dimapur to Guwahati. @Sampan_Travel #ForgottenWarTour
Leaving Nagaland today. We’ve been high in the hills at Jessami on the Myanmar border and enjoyed the warm hospitality there we have come to expect. Visited the 2nd DC Bungalow in Kohima yesterday, and now heading north into Assam. Guwahati and Shillong await. #ForgottenWarTour
Overview of the history of the 39 Hour Walk that @Sampan_Travel organized from Jessami to Kohima. Interesting also to learn that Lt Col Brown was replaced as Commanding Officer of 1 Assam by Major Mohammad Ayub Khan, latterly the president of Pakistan. indianexpress.com/article/cities…
Here we all are. Some battered, some bruised, all tired, everyone in a celebratory mood after the 39 Hour Walk. #39Hours
It was a great honour for @Sampan_Travel to arrange this Herculean 124 km nonstop journey from Jessami to Kohima. Heart warming to see Charlotte Carty and @robert_lyman amongst those that completes this mammoth endeavor. m.youtube.com/watch?si=FY3Hi…
The press conference after the 39-hour walk. Interviews with trustee Charlotte Carty, grand-daughter of Lt Col William 'Bruno' Brown, with @robert_lyman & @bertie_alexandr of @Sampan_Travel & Viscount Slim, Mark Slim, grandson of Field Marshal William Slim youtube.com/watch?v=cTXyDu…
Here they are, at 23:30, just 30 minutes before departure, 80 years to the minute after Lt Col Bruno Brown. Jessami Kohima in the 39 hours. #39HourWalk
Here they are, at 23:30, just 30 minutes before departure, 80 years to the minute after Lt Col Bruno Brown. Jessami Kohima in the 39 hours. #39HourWalk https://t.co/KyvcydOEZR
The 39 Hour Walk begins with a 14-car convoy. 18 walkers, 8 supporters, 9 guides, 25 drivers, one doctor and me. @robert_lyman @KohimaEdTrust
We love hearing how The Jungle War is being enjoyed by its target audience! Reviews by young adventurers always welcome!

The Myanmar military's conscription drive is fast devolving into total chaos. Draftees committing suicide, accusations of bribery and favoritism in lotteries, local regime officials being assassinated or resigning en masse, young men fleeing abroad or to resistance territory
Murshidabad: seat of power of the Nawabs of #Bengal. Murshid Quli Khan shifted from the muslin-weaving centre of Dacca to the silk trade hub of Murshidabad on the River Hooghly in 1717. Below pictures of his burial site, and that of the last independent Nawab, Siraj-us-Daulah.
Third Story Project creates books for #Myanmar children on topics such as gender equality, press freedom and child soldiers. @Sampan_Travel has teamed up with them to get packages of books out to local libraries across the country. More below. sampantravel.com/magazine/third…
77.5 miles in 39-hours is going to be a big ask, especially as it’s across the Naga Hills from Jessami to #Kohima We’re setting out (20 of us) at midnight on 1 April, recreating the amazing journey of 1 Assam Regiment as they withdrew in front of Sato’s 31st Division to Kohima…
Photos from @Sampan_Travel’s Beyond the Chindwin tour last month with @robert_lyman. When done properly, travellers in Myanmar become allies of Myanmar. So long as it’s safe, we will continue to offer immersive journeys here, helping people learn about this wonderful country.
At @Sampan_Travel we are leading this remarkable and slightly mad expedition. 124 kilometers over the Naga Hills, through the night, 26 bolds souls will commemorate the retreat of the #Assam Regiment, 80 years prior to the hour. Wish us luck! bbc.com/news/uk-englan…
With the brilliant Read Hossain at some of the grizzlier sites in Khulna. Including the soon to be opened Genocide Museum and torture cell now in grounds of University Campus.
On the Jessore Road, where Ginsberg wrote of “Millions of souls nineteenseventyone homeless on Jessore road”. Ginsberg’s poem was provoked by the sight of millions of refugees, fleeing war in what was then East Pakistan, towards Calcutta.
When we trek up the Goecha La Trail in April 2024, we'll explore the histories of #Sikkim, Nepal & Tibet, how each interacted with the British Raj, and the expedition led by #Younghusband - "the last imperial adventurer", as recently featured in @EmpirePodUK with @DalrympleWill.

@bertie_alexandr Yep, and it also has unpleasant implications of exoticism/“gorillas in the mist”.
Back from two months campaigning in India and Burma (Myanmar) I’m now enjoying being at home with the dogs and a roaring fire (in mid-April!) and piles of reading to catch up on…
In due course come with me to Imphal Jack and we’ll climb Nunshigum together. Start saving those shekels! @Imphal_Battle
OTD 3rd Carabiniers climb 1k ft up Nunshigum massif,8 miles from Imphal-it is the closest 🇯🇵 gets.8 Lee tanks of B sqn climb the steep slope. Knife edge ridge means to cmdrs lean out their turrets,soon all the officers are dead. SSM Craddock&Sbdr Singh(7 Dogras) finish the job.
In the heart-rending @CWGC cemetery at Guwahati there are some remarkable graves, including (until 2012) twelve Japanese soldiers. Others include - a Muslim wine waiter - an Albert Medal - Chinese troops killed during the advance to Myitkyina in 44 - KOYLI and Gloster troops…

Leaving Nagaland today. We’ve been high in the hills at Jessami on the Myanmar border and enjoyed the warm hospitality there we have come to expect. Visited the 2nd DC Bungalow in Kohima yesterday, and now heading north into Assam. Guwahati and Shillong await. #ForgottenWarTour
This was a brilliant trip. Hopefully we’ll be doing it again this year. Speak to @bertie_alexandr to express an interest

Myanmar filmmaker Ko Khin was diagnosed with stage IV Hodgkins lymphoma in Yangon 8 months ago. He is fortunate to be receiving treatment in Bangkok, but it's not coming cheap. If you can, please donate to the fundraiser helping to support his costs. gofundme.com/f/myo-min-khin…

Picnics by mountain streams (and even a quick dip when it’s hot); beautiful, remote Naga villages in Nagaland and Manipur and the exploration of the battlefield which saw the nadir of Japan’s fortunes in the Second World War. What’s not to like? I’m back here in Nov 24 and Feb 25…
Our fresh recruits with some of your contributions. Appreciate everyone's efforts to make this happen. We still need more equipment. I will let you know. 🙏
Guys, I am raising some funds to buy some eye protection for our boys. Target is 500$. We are at 30%. Pls DM me if you would like to chip in a bit. Much appreciated. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
Lots of 1st Bn Assam Regiment trenches still surround the perimeter at Jessami, where this astonishing battalion fought the lead battalions of Sato’s 31st Division 27 March - 1 April 1944. Come and see this beautiful place yourself with @Sampan_Travel
