On that trail, so many memories and legend stories have gone deep into the heart of every CIL people in the valley below Lombur mountain. The current generations still imprint the memory of long trips on this salt trail for schooling, trading, exchanging goods and even finding medicines.

Let steo on CIL ancestors’ long lost trail, enjoy the wilderness and discover the unique culture that you can only research from old story-tellers, to listen, to understand and to admire them, CIL people – Son of the mounts and forest.
