Ok, so I know I promised to write more about India but there is something more that is intriguing me far more.
Just a quick background. I am currently in Mcleod Ganj/Dharamsala, the city for the exiled government of Tibet aka this is where the Dalai Lama lives. Its fantastic and its high up in the Himalayas. Sometimes it rains, sometimes it doesnt but after the insane heat of New Delhi this place is a phenomenal respite. All around are the mountains and I can actually see the clouds going through the town. Its absolutely stunning.
Tomorrow I am getting on bus and heading further up, higher into the Himalayas towards Kashmir. The town is called Menali, and while I hear its nothing special, to me it means a perfect point to rent a motorcycle and and begin a grueling muddy 500km journey to Leh, a city in Kashmir, nestled some 3524 meters (11,562 ft) in the Himalayas.
I will admit, I am not prepared for this trip, but it is bound to be amazing.
I leave you with some photos of what the passes look like.
