Hot springs in Manali
... and guest house signs were in Hebrew as well as English, and served a wide range of Israeli food. We ate at the 'King of the Falafel', and true to his word his falafel was amazing - the best I'd ever had and even the best Emily's ever had and she's actually been to Israel twice.
