Hotel Dragon Leh

... 8360;2900 <br>The 500 cc is too heavy, taking the Vespa for 3 days instead. <br>Meeting again all out of sudden (in Lamayuru - what a food!) The Dutch &amp; German non-couple - they are really nice after all. The girl visited in Kazbegi! :) She's an ideological vegetarian - a strange thing...<br>

Checked out of the hotel and took a cab to Spituk, hell knows where are the busses here :) <br>When I arrived to the "trekking point" by the bridge, it proved there is a couple from my hotel is just going for a walk as well. They are well equipped and going with the two assistants and four horses. We depart at 10:30. &#8232;They are going to trek for some 4-5 days, but for the first day we walk together to Zingchen. The folks were from ...

We continue walking down the long Hundar valley and pass a mountain village, where at this time of the year all the villagers are busy with one thing: beating the wheat to separate the grain from the stock. One man does find the time to come up to us and charge 300 rupees (CH6) for three nights of camping on ...

... br>Comme si l;endroit n;etait pas deja assez extraordinaire, les quelques habitants de ces villages perches sont eux aussi inoubliables. Ils travaillent tres durement - recoltent les champs a la main, porte le fourrage a dos d;ane ou d;homme, cultivent quelque legumes dans ces terres seches et froides, fabriquent leur farine avec des moulins artisanaux, font eux meme leur beurre et generent le peu d;electricite qu;ils consomment avec qq paneaux solaires. Et malgre cette vie rude ...

... la moto cale moto et commence à glisser en arrière. Je descends en vitesse. Il est préférable que David monte seul au col pendant que je monte avec un camion qui nous suivait. Si jusqu&#8217;à présent je n&#8217;avais fait aucune expérience désagréable avec les hommes indiens, il y a dans la cabine du camion un monsieur plus âgé qui n&#8217;arrête pas de s&#8217;approcher de moi en sachant que la cabine était ristrette pour quatre personnes. Il ne m&#8217 ...

... I can't believe we'll just never see them again. The smiliest, most helpful and generous people ever. There are so many of these people in the world, and we can never meet them all. We'll probably only meet a handful. It sucks.<br>On the way back to Leh, we stopped at Stok Palace. I'm not going to lie, it was rubbish. It didn't look so much of a palace as a whitewashed concrete block. And there were a few museum rooms inside, and it was all pretty much standard stuff. A monk ...

I looked at my watch for the hundredth time. 6:15am. I might as well get up. I hadn't slept all night. In between bouts of puking I had been forcing down tablets of Pepto-Bismol. (Incidentally, if someone asks if eating a burrito in Ladakh is a good idea, tell them Tom says "No"). I had to be at the trekking agency in 45 minutes for the four+ hour drive to Lamayuru. That village ...

... loa andmise büroo streigib, mistõttu ei saa osa inimesi homme tulla. Mis tähendab teistsugust hinda. Või siis võimalust alustada hiljem, kui homme streiki pole ja loa saab kella kümnest. Istume pikalt ühe Belgia neiuga, lobiseme, joome teed, jälgime putkapoiste veiderdamist ja ootame uudiseid.<br>Ostan Wasimi kaasabil mõned kohaliku muusikaga CD-d, saan ilma seda küsimata alet. Kaks 250-ruupiast plaati 300 ruupiaga. Ehk siis kohalikele mõeldud hind. Jalutame ...

... Tibetan monasteries which were really amazing. I also went river rafting through the mountains as well. The rapids were not as good as I hoped but the scenery was amazing. Jumped in the water as well which was painful it was so damn cold. Won't be doing that one again either.<br>Enjoy and I will try to get some Egypt and Africa pics up soon.<br><br>Sawadii krap! and take care<br>CMB<br>
