Siachen Hotel Leh

... biology and geography i believe). Curiously enough I discover that mom in Ladahi (that's what I think they were talking) is "AMA" - isn't it cool?! Also the writing resembles Arabic in a very suspicious way. &#8232;The dinner was served, and it was tasty! :) A short photo session, and it's a time to go to sleep. The thermometer shows +6C in my room. But the military sleeping bag looks warm and I got another extra blanket. But I still go to sleep with all my clothes on, good night! <br><br>

... 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>

... decided to use that day to visit Thiksey and Shey Palace. In the morning I visited the Leh palace and victory fort alone first though. Joe and me took a local bus (not enough room for my legs, but ok :)) and visited the places. Thiksey was especially nice, although I probably left with bad karma, because I lied to a Buddhist monk. Yep it is true. We apparantly came in the monastery from the backside where no ticket-counter was and ...

... br><br>Prêt pour attaquer la suite, un homme nous signale que le pneu de la roue arrière est crevé&#8230;.Misère ! Ne sachant que la route allait être si difficile vers le col, nous n&#8217;avons pas pris de kit de réparation. Situation donc peu confortable à 5320m. Quoi faire ? Comment réparer la chambre à air ? Notre plus grand ami, vous allez comprendre pourquoi, était&#8230;..l&#8217;armée indienne ! Dans un premier temps, ils nous ont accueillis dans ...

... and riding across the high passes today felt like you were on top of the world as the peaks of all the other mountains around you are at eye level.<br><br>For the bicyclists I have seen about 8 people so far traveling along the same roads as I am, I stopped an spoke to a couple of young English girls not far from Taglangla Pass and they were exhausted, I honestly don&#8217;t know how they can do it, at this height I am out of<br>breath just climbing a flight of stairs.<br><br ...

... paistva templini ja homse bussi järele. Buss läheb hotelli juurest 8.30.<br>Kaifin mõnda aega seina seest pähe voolavat kuuma vett ja proovin hotelli pisikese seebiga midagi mustade juuste vastu ette võtta. Siis vedelen toas, jalad aknalaual, vaatan hotelli aeda ja põldudele ja ootan, kuniks päike pisut madalamale vajub. Sirvin ka sajandat korda matkaraamatut ja satun peatükile, mis hoiatab asjade eest, mida ei tohiks teha: minna Kargilisse, minna Suru jõe orgu ...

... kk aega riisi süüa.<br>Kuni söögini lebotan toas, vaatan aknast välja ja proovin järgmise päeva marsruudi teetähiseid meelde jätta. Viimane päev tundub tulevat kõige lihtsam.<br>Momod on head, jälle tahetakse mind lõhkemiseni täis toppida. Perenaine räägib, et ei oska inglise keelt. Vähemalt niipalju saan tema ladaki keelest aru. Lapsi on peres neli, aga teisi pole näha. Kohalolev tütar on haige, võtab rohtu, seepärast ka magas keset päeva. Pliidi all praksub tuli ja on mõnus olemine.

... highest I've ever walked - and I can't describe how pleased I was with myself to do it! The scenery varied constantly: villages, cultivated barley terraces with beautiful flowers, barren rocky slopes, narrow river gorges, rocks of all shapes and colours...it was never less than stunning but I just don't have the vocabulary to do it justice.<br><br> My fellow Rockies trekkers ...

... would have to be missing every sensory organ in your body, to be able to go in them. I even saw one on the main street in Manali that charged 2 rupees for the pleasure!??). I can deal with the beggars and touts and i can deal with seeing/smelling absolutely everything floating down the drains. But the spitting thing. Even the waiters, walking past your table in a restaurant will suck and snort like a hoover on their way ...

... br>to wake up Meherzad, Sanjiv and Rohit who had reached the day earlier.<br>Their room was very cozy, and they were all enjoying a nice nap under<br>heavy quilts. We got them awake and asked them to join us for breakfast<br>at Stenzin's room. Stenzin's room was on the first floor of the building. It had just one window,<br>and seemed to be a house squeezed into a room. On one side, there was a<br>small kitchen, where our breakfast and tea was being prepared, and a<br>sink with a bucket ...
