Pondicherry

The Pondi Experience
This is a top pick! Pondicherry Saturday July 5, 2008 (~7:30 a.m.) So many people out so early! Even as early as 5:30am there were people milling about the town, so different from America. We finally got checked into the Hotel Suguru, and it was so ...
Pangong Tso
This is a top pick! What an awesome name. Not entirely sure we made it as far as Spangmik, but I had to use it. It probably looks much the same - shades of sand, mountains, and the most amazingly blue lake I have ever seen. And dude, in the distance, the Tibet ...
