Capturing this moment was the perfect end to my travels in Mcleod Ganj. I woke up by myself very early and through the curtains I saw a glimpse of the clouds. Instantly jumping into some light trouser and without getting a proper top layer (at that time it was about 8° C) I ran on the balcony to capture this picture. After two days of rather unspectacular sunrise I was so thankful finally receiving what I hoped for. Carrying this moment in my heart I could now say good bye to a beautiful place.

Travel Update : Escaping from the hot plains into the mountains
Haldwani | Bhimtal | Bhowali | ....... Mukteshwar

The exit was messy, traffic jams & a hot afternoon. The heat index (like fuel prices) seems to keep going up.

Midst of a long weekend so lots of non state vehicles, many with poor hill road etiquette.

It became cool around Bhimtal. Will need a series of posts to describe what it feels to be in the mountains

Crossing glacial rivers on the Manaslu Circuit—one of Nepal’s most remote treks around Mt. Manaslu (8,163m). This restricted-area route passes Tibetan-influenced villages and crosses Larkya La Pass (5,106m), offering a quieter alternative to Everest.
