Just a quick show of our 2 months in the Indian Himalayas. With the heaviest monsoon since 1929 our plans were constantly changing.
Enjoy....
Manali a laid back town and the gateway to the Northern Indian Himalayas.
The put-in for the Tsarap Chu River. This shot was taken near the end of September. When I ran this 2 years ago solo the river was brown and pumping from the snow melt of the glaciers all around! What a difference 6 weeks makes!!
Is it not unbelievable?
The Tanglang La
Just another accident, one of many!
The carnage in Ladakh caused by unusual rains!
Leh some 3524 metres above sea level
On our way up the Indus Valley
Lake Tsomoriri just 4595 metres above sea level
The best place in Manali
Woods and greenery were a welcome break back in Manali
On our way to the Alaknanda River
Yet another vehicle that had been taken out by landslides
Goats to add to the carnage
Our sanctuary by the river. Peace and tranquility in a country of madness, hustle and bustle
A local lady working in the paddy fields
Shalabh surfing on his home wave, just outside his door!
A window of opportunity....Pawan a village local trying to get the eskimo roll!
Night time at the camp
The Alaknanda river, one of the major tributaries of the mighty Ganges!
The drive to one of the many sections of the Alaknanda
Ute at the put-in
Shalabh on the Alaknanda
Big holes
With the line worked out, Ute enters the next rapid
A little piece of calm water, time to enjoy the tranquility
Ute back in business!
The surrounding mountains
Our hosts - Shalabh, Maya and Alice
Rishikesh, a pilgrim centre, yoga capital of the world and not a bad place to sit and watch the sun go down on your hotels balcony!
