Travel in the Himalayas


The roads are steadily getting worse each year but that is what makes this trip so exciting. I have been really blesssed that I have not felt sick at all despite the bad roads.


Most of the time the clouds were obscuring the majestic mountains that surrond these towns giving that mystical romantic feeling that I so love about this place. Our last day high in the mountains the clouds cleared some what and one was able to view the 3rd highest peak in the world through a slight haze.



Still have yet to get to ride up top like the locals but I keep trying.
The trip down was picturesque with the changing vegetation as the altitude reduced.


Remember to keep blowing ones to adjust the pressure in ones ears every so often as the descent is quite rapid.

Next post the Game Park.
