Festivities in a Second Valley
October 11-14
After Darma Valley we traveled up the first fork in the river to a village near Soblah. We camped out next to the river in a place where the water ran less violently. This afforded us the opportunity for a much-needed bath and laundry rinsing. All the kids in the village made a special trip to our campsite to see what the fuss was about. Tulci, one of our guides, played games with them while we set up our class tent. After dinner we ...
Lost Horizon
October 5-10
We reached the base of Panchichuli the
next day. Here we spent several days surveying the alpine ecology,
and even had a chance to climb to 15,538 feet in elevation and see

during the day owing to the thin atmosphere. The alpine valley in

glacier. The first day we toured the surrounding villages. First,
on the main branch of Darma Valley, was ...

One one side was a sheer cliff rising beyond sight to the tops of the mountains above and accented with waterfalls that ran in rivulets across the dirt and gravel road. On the other was a straight drop into the deep valley below. Along the way we passed a reservoir that had been created on the ...
Badges, Borders, and Beurocrats
We left Binsar retreat and travelled to Darchula, on the border of Nepal. As we pulled into the town, we were stopped by India-Tibet Border Patrolmen. The border of India and Tibet is carefully watched, and we must obtain special permits to go into the High Himalaya near the border. After he had checked our passports and visa's, we were allowed to pass. We later went to the office of the local administrator ...
