At this time of the year, the sun is strong, and it is way too hot for me to really enjoy the action at the Golden Temple in Amritsar. Also, everything does look much better when it is dark and the light illuminates the Harmandir Sahib Temple and the complex surrounding the pond. The sun…

One more time – India was the destination. I did try a few times in the past to reach Leh and circle from there to Spiti Valley and loop back to Shimla. It did never work out. I did get as far as Spiti valley for a little circle. Trekking to some very small villages…
