From East to West Asia
This is a top pick! ... of the long distance phone call that kept cutting me off the previous time I phoned their UK office). Ok, now for the flight into India. Amritsar was the farthest north, so it seemed I would be in for some cooler weather after all - Its a place very ...
Punjabi Wedding

Sleeping is the enemy
We've just finished attacking dinner, a motley of starters and lassi. Nobody seems to be in a hurry to leave. But we must. If ever we have to reach Srinagar as scheduled, or should I say, re-scheduled, we must hit Madhopur tonight, a distance of roughly ...
Our Trip back to New Delhi

Changed Buses Here for Dharmsala
We took a local (packed, sweaty and dusty) bus from Amritsar to Pathankot for 3 hours then changed to another 4 hour local bus to take us to Dharmsala as theres no rail travel this high up in India. For both buses we had no idea whether they ...

In between trains.
Kangra was pretty - the bus dropped me off at the main road and I had quite a walk to get to the train station. I was quite early for the train so I hung about on the platform. It was very quiet in some ways, until the sounds of the birds became clearer. ...
journey from Chamba to Pathankot to New Dehli
We treated ourselves to another taxi to Pathancot where we were to catch our overnight train back to the dreaded Delhi! The sleeper trains are amazing here - a full bed for you to curl up in for long overnight journeys... We say our farewells to Jamcoon, ...
Vibha Reunion and the Jammu Mail
