... survive - they don't wear boots, just some shoes or slippers, no trousers - only these maroon covers. I just can't get it! 
The young monks are just giving me some curious looks. Then the senior ones propose me to have some "tea" and smile very welcomely. When I step into the praying hall they propose me to have a sit in the second row. It's not possible to take pictures in the prayer hall, so I'll try to explain what is it like. Well, it's a big room - some 40x25 meters, there ...

... m meeting Victor, it's so funny to meet the same folks you saw once. The meeting place this time was a decent local eatery - "Tibetan Food" they called it, located at the main "plaza", on the second floor of some shop. We exchanged the experiences and the pictures. He has got some really interesting ones from Dha - a village to the west of Leh. We decide to go there after we return from Nubra. He proposes me to visit the local gompa in the morning to watch the morning pray.<br> <br>

... killed me, then when we stopped I put all the thermic clothes, and started to hope for the best.<br>The GPS was jammed again, I still don't understand why copying a few files into it's memory card makes him so mad at me. Only later I was enlightened with the idea to remove the card for a while, alowing the device to save the track. So the trajectory on Google Maps is not 100% full :(<br>I'm a good sleeper, but sleeping for 18 hours is not an ...

I stared at a set of horrendous orange curtains for the next three days as my body fought off an intense chest infection and associated fever. Nasty.<br><br>We have to get moving on our trek or we're going to miss the Dalai Lama who is giving teachings in McLeod Ganj on September 15-17. We wanted to make ...

... selle hoolikalt ajalehte.<br>Maksmise kohta öeldakse, et ma maksaks niipalju kui tahan. Eksole. Toas oli õnneks seinal silt 2009. aasta hindadega. Ühe inimese lõuna, õhtusöök, ööbimine ja hommikusöök 400 ruupiat. Saan isegi sajase tagasi. Kõik on rahul.<br>Sammun läbi küla ja näen veel külalistemajade silte. Eespool on sinist taevast. Jään küla viimase veenire juurde peatuma, et hambaid pesta ja oma vinge veefiltriga vett filtreerida. Eemal paistab juba madal ...

... eest ja tagasi tõstis, olen kindel, et läheme vales suunas. Ütlen seda giidile, kes palub meil oodata ja läheb kuhugi asja uurima. Manustame niikaua kuivatatud aprikoose. Aprikoosikivi sees on mandel. Giid naaseb ja tunnistab, et mul on õigus. Muuhulgas ütleb ta mulle ka hiljem, et on sel teel esimest korda.<br>Kloostris pakutakse teed ja saan seekord ka templisse sisse. Istun mõnda aega katusel ja jõuan veel giidile juhatada, millist käiku pidi pääseb rajale, sest oma ...

Last night Krista was able to revive herself enough so that we could go up to the Shanti Stupa at sunset. The Shanti Stupa is located on the hill above Leh and Lonley Planet describes it as having "gobsmaking views" and they are correct. We decided that in her malnourished condition, the best idea would be for us to taxi to the top rather than walk the hundreds of steps up to the stupa. Our taxi driver appeared to be in a hurry and asked us to be back in 30 ...

... of<br>a wound claimed when the wind fought from a particular direction. On<br>some of these peaks, the snow lay as if sprinkled over, while in others<br>it gathered in the nooks on the peaks, spotting them as if the peak<br>itself suffered from mottled pigmentation. Yet others had snow lying<br>along horizontal creeks, seeming to be the white sacred ash smeared<br>liberally across an Iyer pujari's forehead. In the early morning light,<br>the sun lent its color to the snow capped peaks ...
