点评:Getting away from the maddening crowd isn't easy in India. I even dare to say, at the end of my fifth tour tru this vast nation in four decades, that it takes about as much time and patience as to get to Jogdalpur. But ones you are there, you'll be able to not just enjoy the relative ease and calm of this pleasant city, but you can use it as a base to explore, with the welcoming help of the Tourist Board of Chhittagarh, the tribal peoples and their peaceful and vast natural habitat in Bastar, as I did.
For thee days a safe drivers and a very frendly and competent young guide did not only take me to see the waterfalls, the various Shiva tempels, the very welcoming tribal peoples in their tranquile hamlets, the week markets and even an annual festival etcetera, but led me without much explination and ado to a wonderful, be it a short trip on a bamboe raft as well as a quiet sit inn on a camping stool in a calm and refreshing stream with my bare feet in the water. And just at the moment I was wandering if this was what I'm paying for, I closed my eyes and heard the songs and sounds of mother nature. Then I realised with how much love, understanding and enthousiasme for Bastar and its peoples he was guiding me thru this unexplored region. And how much effort they put in their mission to keep these tourist venture's sustainable.
So get off the beaten tracks. You'll have to put in effort and a bit of boldness, but I now can assure you, the return on your investment will be a very pleasant surprise.
Enjoy,

这些天来,一位安全的司机和一位非常友好、能干的年轻导游不仅带我参观了瀑布、各种湿婆神殿、宁静的小村庄里热情好客的部落人民、每周的市场,甚至一年一度的节日等等,而且没有太多的解释和麻烦,我就领略了一次美妙的经历,无论是乘坐竹筏进行短途旅行,还是在平静清新的溪流中,光着脚在水中,坐在露营凳上安静地坐在旅馆里。就在我徘徊这是否是我所付出的代价时,我闭上眼睛,听到了大自然的歌声和声音。然后我意识到他带着对巴斯塔及其人民的爱、理解和热情引导我穿越这片未开发的地区。他们为保持这些旅游事业的可持续发展付出了多少努力。
所以远离人迹罕至的地方。你必须付出努力和一点勇气,但我现在可以向你保证,你的投资回报将是一个非常令人惊喜的。
享受,
