How are the holiday preparations ???
We don't have any ;)
What we do have are trek preparations and we got our second set back. The local weather gods are apparently not our side and after keeping us an additional day in smelly delhi we have now been forced to change our trekking plans. Currently we are waiting an additional day before leaving on the trek and will probably shorten it to 4-5 days instead of the planned 9. Also the course will be different so as not to have problems with snow. As you can see we are taking the safer path so parents - no need to worry :) We have been assured that the said alternative will not angry the weather gods ;) and that the scenery is as good (actually its part of the trek we planned with an additional part on the other side of the mountain so as not to have heavy snowfall). Also we will have less time to freeze our asses off ;)
So what have we been doing so far you ask ? Well we took a jeep with some Spaniards we met in the guest house for a 2 day trip to Tso Moriri & Tso Kar at ~4800m (Tso = Lake) and had a lovely time, saw some local wildlife and took these:
Nice right ? well here are some more
On the way back from the lakes we joined the Manali-Leh highway, if you can call it that, the right thing about it is that it is high, very high - it passes Tanglang La which is a ~5300 high pass with these amazing views
Thats it for now, we will share more next week when we return from our trek, well... if the internet stays open here (end of season).
