Exploring Split Rock

On Day 67, we found ourselves descending into another world – at Split Rock – lying in a million year old geological formation in the region of Mawlyngbna. Split Rock and was certainly not what we envisaged it to be – a huge boulder split into two – is 200 ft deep and just 6 ft. wide and entails climbing rocks, descending from rickety but firm ladders and extremely careful grips on moss rocks and cold stone walls. A true Indiana Jones experience! It was a fascinating climb and descent, an intense obstacle course within a massive Rock sliced perfectly in half by a geological event, engorged with roots of trees like I have never seen before, moss covered walls and rocks, almost like an Inca tomb or a pyramid. It’s hard to imagine that a simple geological event like an earthquake could have resulted in such a perfect cut. I tend to veer towards more alien civilisation theories just as we look at other monumental formations in India and other continents. But the journey within had a very strong force, an energy that had us spellbound, compelling us to pray to the Universal force of Nature and its magnetism.
