Kompiam

I took a short plane fight on MAF to Kompiam to visit Dr Dave and his family upon their invitation.  Dr Dave overseas the work at Kompiam Hospital where you can volunteer . There is one regular flight a week, on Monday.  So I flew out the first Monday of school holidays and returned the second Monday. Check with MAF for flights as they do change.

I had a relaxing week where I got to paddle in the freezing cold river and hike a mountain with the Dukes, a volunteer couple.  They also allowed me to sleep at their house and cooked a yummy meal.  As far as I know there isn't a guesthouse at Kompiam.  So travel to Kompiam is definitely on a 'who you know' basis.

2014 update: There is a new guesthouse next to hospital.
