OK – today I really wanted to sleep a bit longer since this would be a day with less walking. So I told the guys not to come in my room and wake me before 8 in the morning. Who had to get something really not important at 6.30? You guess! That was my night…
I have no idea why people get up in the middle of night when trekking??? When I did the Annapurna circle it was December and quite cold in the night. So some of this crazy idiots got up even when it was still dark and started to walk when there was no sun nowhere. I…
Had a good but short night at Uttarkashi. Like everywhere in India the locals start the day when I still sleep. In the night waterfalls of rain came down so the streets where super clean and after a quick shower I was looking for break fast. Than it did not take to long and Anil…
Last time I was in Rishikesh I said that was the last time. And now I am back again. Never say never I guess. Sandra wanted to work on her Joga and Anils village is on the way. So here we go – back in Rishikesh again. It did not change to much but it…
Told you -> there is the monkey in the morning – on our balcony… Finger getting better slow slow…. WTF – they gave her this cup for coffee :-) Express Movers Shimla On the way back from dinner… Diamonds are the girls best friend – wait they do not have them here… On the way…
The Jakhu Temple of Simla is dedicated to the monkey God, Hanuman. It is situated on Jakhoo Hill, still in walking distance from the Ridge at a height of 2,455 m (8,000 feet) above sea level. Shimla’s highest peak offers a panoramic view of the Shivalik Ranges and the town of Sanjauli. One legend goes…
It is not easy to leave Kalpa after a few days. The view together with the clean air and almost no car noise makes it a place where you easy can spend some time. But Sandra was on the way to Rishikesh for some more Yoga stuff and I wanted to visit The Professional in…
The Hindu Temple in Kalpa is behind the Buddhist Hu-Bu-Lan-Kar monastery. It is called Narayan Nagini Temple. And it is well worth to have a look. The outer walls and the front door of the temple is finely carved. They also have lots of animal sculptures on the roofs. Together with the Kinnaur Kailash snow-capped…
Travelling behind the Inner Line After our party evening all 4 of took the bus up to Kalpa. I had the finger advantage and could put my bag inside the bus. And boy that bus was full. People did sit on the roof at one point. But when we reached the Bus Stand in Kalpa…
The flight back home was coming closer and it was time to move on again. The first stop on the way to Shimla was Nako. A small village not too far away from the main road. I went to the bus stand very early in the morning. Somehow they insisted that I get a ticket…
After we hiked down from Dankar (see this blog post) we did meet a guy and his guide that did spend the night in Dankar as well. So we could wait together. The funny thing is that the owner of the guest house tells you when to get up so you can catch the bus…
After breakfast we packed our stuff and left Komic towards Demul. The walk is not really difficult since there is not a lot of up and down. We did not meet people on the way expect for a road crew. They where working on the street and happy that something happened other than working that…
