THAILAND | Wednesday, 23 Sep 2009 | Views [3974]

Back to Leh and an Overnight Trip to Pangong Tso Lake

INDIA | Sunday, 26 Jul 2009 | Views [1336]

Have to admit that although it was nice to sleep in a bed, and have loads of room to spread our things out; we missed being brought bed tea!   We woke up feeling full of beans following the best night’s sleep in over a week.   We even managed to complete ... Read more >

Arriving in Leh at 3,500m !

INDIA | Monday, 13 Jul 2009 | Views [1393]

This trekking lark up Stok Kangri is going to be a doddle as we cheated a bit by flying into Leh, which at 3,500m takes your breath away, and is over half way to our peak! Mind you it would have been some trek from KL! We started our trip to the mighty ... Read more >
