Post the night of volunteering at Jarakhabande Eco Ultra, the forest beckoned me to to do a single loop next morning. Having done the 100km last year, I have enjoyed the sweet not-too-long, not-so-short loop of mixed terrain with a mild climb of ~500m over the 6.4 km stretch. Here is a what it is and how it felt as a poem poster titled “A morning at Jarakhabande”. (#237)
