Mcloadganj

I figure another picture story is in order.  When I went to pick some to post, I realized that I had taken very few.  This is a surprise because out of all the towns and cities we have visited, here we stayed the longest.   One more day, then two more days quickly added up to over a week, when we left I wasn't really ready to go.  I loved this town, more than any I have visited to date and it is for many reasons.  The weather was amazing, the people are mellow and friendly, we stayed at a lovely guesthouse that required a steep hike to reach, yes I complained about it every day but exercise was a pleasant change.  Yum, the air was clean, the food was great and with a town with nothing to do, there was a lot one could apply themselves too.  Hiking, volunteering and courses are just a few of the activities to pass the time.  Or, just nothing but enjoy the view, clean water and clean air :) 

Prayer wheels at a Tibetan Temple in Town.

Snow capped mountain ranges visible from town.

Danny's trip to a waterfall.  Yes, he jumped in- CRAZY!

That water is straight from the Himalayas and it is COLD!

Some of our lovely friends we met at our guesthouse.

Our friend that served us iced tea every day.

I thought this was an interesting statement considering the garbage everywhere.

The breathtaking view from Kangra Fort.  Just amazing :)
