the queen of the jungle



















I guess it's true and I have good luck with the trek guides... Preesha guided me through the forest and garlic fields yesterday. For some hours he treated me like the Queen of the Jungle.

Not only he held my hand and helped me out every time I was about to fall down but he also made a couple of chopsticks and a cup from a bamboo for me to eat and drink. He made a bed with huge banana leaves for me to sleep on and he cooked the most delicious tea inside a bamboo on a fire lit with two bamboo sticks.

Preesha is from the Karen tribe and he has grown up in this area. He knows these mountains like the palm of his strong hands. Yesterday I was his queen, today he'll find a new one.
