Arrived in India to the madness of Delhi but loved it. Paharganj brilliant - rickshaws, markets, chai and chaos with a few Kingfisher Strong beers to celebrate. Delhi station was fun counting the rats on the lines before an overnight train, local bus, rickshaw and minbus to get to Pokhara in Nepal.
Just got back from 14 days trekking the Annapurna Circuit, crossing the Thorong La Pass at almost 18,000 feet. Fantastic watching shooting stars over Annapurna 2 peak with the clearest night skies possible before the sun tinging over the horizon.
Donkey trains, porters, wild Tibetan blue sheep, eagles soaring, beautiful sunrises and the tallest mountains in the world all around us. It was surreal.
After 14 days eating veggie and no alcohol, it's time for steak and beer :)
