The North beckons! Posted on July 7, 2010 It’s been a while since I headed North. A few years in fact. I still have some vivid memories skiing down the lovely while slopes of Auli. And roaming around the gallis of Dharamasala in search of the perfect momo and of course visiting the Indian abode of HH The Dalai Lama. It’s time to go back! This time I head towards Manali and will make my way towards Leh, all depending on the road conditions. There have already been a lot of reports about the excessive rain and snowfall this time around. But then, that’s the fun of travel and adventure. Some amount of unpredictability – the plans are all well laid but we don’t quite know what will happen until we get there! The travel will extend towards the end of July and I will try and keep my twitter updated wherever I have signal. But I intend to fully enjoy a signal free life 🙂 Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print India & Around Living Sports & Adventure Travel

The week that was… Posted on August 7, 2005August 9, 2005 Last week was so hectic that at times I had these out-of-body experiences where I looked at myself doing several things at once and thinking of twice as much and feeling rather sorry for myself.

That is the most beautiful adventure in Leh. I biked around Leh 2 years ago – the best adventure ever, my blog’s header image says it all. If you haven’t decided a place to stay in Leh, I can suggest shanti guest house, a lovely hotel 1.5 kms from main market, away from the hustle and bustle of this small town.. Rs300/- day and wonderful hosts. http://www.bcmtouring.com/forum/hotels-guest-houses-jammu-kashmir-ladakh-f48/shanti-guest-house-leh-t11674/ Reply
