Hotel Lingzi Leh

... a little (there was another one at 5 or 6) and I tried to go as fast as I could. But no success - I was late by some ten minutes. Then it proved that there was no bus at all &#8212; probably because it was Sunday. Instead there was a jeep waiting for a couple to come back from a day trek, whom I joined readily. They even didn't want to share the price. I had a dinner at the Lamayuru restaurant, I really like them. And returned to the guesthouse - even got the same room w/WiFi! <br><br>

... but live in Ireland for some years. It was nice talking to them, and the views were awesome. The weather is also very good - it's sunny with some picturesque clouds. The road till Zingchen is actually suitable for jeeps, or even regular cars and it almost didn't take us up. After some 4 hours of walk we reach the campsite of Zingchen, the guides who didn't stop for lunch are already there, and the camp looks almost ready ...

Les soirees se passent dans la cuisine, chacun assis sur des tapis - pas de chaises ici ! - en activant de temps en temps un moulin a priere et en attendant le repas simple et savoureux.

Hi guys, sorry i haven't really made much effort to write up what happened on the 17 blank days of trekking but I find it really hard to describe, and it will be much easier when I'm home and can show you all pictures (hopefully my camera will stop being a dick by then... it refuses to work atm).<br>The first 5 days were spent acclimatising on a small trek, in which on one day it rained so heavily in the night that we were totally cut off and had to ...

... be the starting point for a five-day trek to another small village named Chiling. I hadn't planned on doing a trek like this in India. I figured I'd do a couple days treks and then consider myself "fit for Pakistan". However, when the oppportunity arose to join an existing group, I said "hell yes"!<br><br>"Hell No" I responded when the trekking operator asked if I still felt ...

... ja ka miskine kõhuhäda. Ja läheb tagasi.<br>Jätkan üksi teotempos astumist peaaegu järgmise telklani. See ongi Spangmik, nagu hiljem selgub. Liikumine on üsna vaevaline, hingata sedapuhku raske ja kõht ka tühi. Varsti tuleb päike välja, ilm läheb soojemaks ja mööduvast dzhiibist lastakse välja hindud. Ohjee. Longin edasi ja sean ennast kivile istuma. Muidugi on vaja tulla ja otse minu ees hakata kividega lutsu viskama ja pisikesest elektroonikavidinast muusikat ...

... Jeevanisse, kus mind veel mäletatakse, porgandimahla jooma.<br>Internet on aeglane ja õhtusöögi serveerimine ka just kiirusega ei hiilga, seega on reisiputkasse tagasi jõudmise ajaks uks kinni. Hmm. Suundun samas nurgal asuva poe poole shokolaadi soetamiseks, kui mind nurgalt hüütakse. Kas sa ei mäleta mind, küsib tegelane, kes on küll pisut tuttava näoga. Ahjaa, seesama turist-Wasim, keda ennist nägin. Tuli samuti uudiste järele, aga ei leidnud kedagi. Sms-teel ...
