This was the day five, November 16, 2013, of our Subansiri River Angling (for Mahseer), Rafting, and nature observation trip along the river. To avoid a stretch of rough rapids from our camp site down stream of Subansiri River we seniors (50+) were told by the organisers to wade through this waist-deep tributary, create some tracks on the opposite side and join the raft team downstream. While tearing the thick bush, climbing up and down the terrain to gain some claustrophobic inches ahead, I suddenly spotted these beautiful strange vine flowers.
The flowers were approximately the size of my thumb. I have never seen this before, so out of curiosity I took some photos of the flowers, the vines and the area.
