Mcleod Ganj, you gotta go there to believe it - Pt 4

What a stunning place !!!

I managed to find my own room with 2 beds in it and a balcony that looked down in to the valley that was the rest of India, I was high high up, even though it was peak summer it still felt cool at night up here. I was paying around $4 per night for this picturesque location. magic.

I could also look up into the hills that were covered in pines draped in prayer flags with the peaks of snow covered mountains framing the picture nicely.

Did I also mention there are monkeys EVERYWHERE !!!

Here's some bits and pieces I want to share from the days I spent here. Each day was wonderful with a great sense of bewilderment and love for life. I visited the Dalai Lama Ashram, ate dumplings from cute old lades on the side of the road, bought handmade silver jewellery and traditional kashmiri woven blankets. I wandered through the forests, was shit scared of being attacked by monkeys, sat in cafes for hours on end just thinking and sometimes crying... I read books, I listened to music and sometimes I just sat in my room, silent, ...

Next stop... Dharamkot, another 2km up the hill, sleepy little village where I went to stay at the 

Vipassana ashram... the most unforgettable experience yet.

Namaste xx
