Manali, India - Blogabond

Aires de tranquilidad...

El fresquito de Mc Leod Ganj nos gustó así que decidimos no dejar los Himalayas. Nos dirigimos a Manali en el Valle del Kullu. Manali es también un lugar que atrae mucho turismo, tanto extranjero como del propio país. Nos alojamos en Old Manali (Manali viejo) que es donde se asentó en...

Quotes I like

Happenings and Ponderings

Anchok just came over to my tent, and we sat in silence for a little while. Now he is rummaging thru my things. Wow, that looked like it might have been the first time he has ever worn a pair of sunglasses! It is unimaginable to me to not wear eye protection in this intense sunshine, but I...
