Old Rajpur - Uttarakhand - India (3)

Hello people,

I'm back! I know it's been quite a while but with the heavy rainfall of the last couple of days Internet places just seem to shut down due to very frequent power cuts. And we were actually promised to have Internet access in the house on the day we arrived but... The course is coming to an end slowly and even though there is a modem in place, Internet connection is not possible. Let's hope there will be some Internet-installation-action in the next week. Although obviously this is not a necessity, merely very practical and luxurious.

Anyway, I am very pleased to inform you all that the weather was absolutely beautiful on the day we were supposed to be hiking to Mussorrie and so... I did my first amazing beautiful mini trek in India. This is such a nice stunning country. Or at least what I've seen about it so far... I am completely bewitched by its beauty. And I can't wait to do some more treks in the area. Starting tomorrow, if the weather allows us to go of course. We're having 3 days off and I'm going to Rishikesh for 2 days with some people from the course. There seem to be some very nice temples in the area so I'm hoping to get a glimpse of them soon.

On top, I have found 4 more people who want to go to Ladakh after the course so... We have arranged a taxi drive to Manali on the 18th - will stay there to sort out jeep drive to Leh, have planned to leaving there as soon as possible (just because these other people don't have a lot of time). Afterwards I still have all the time in the world to come back down South - slowly, slowly... And submerge myself deeper in the wonderful green and lush valleys of the North. Looking forward to it... Just loving it!

For the rest everything is excellent and I'm still having great sensations of gratitude and psychedness to be here. Will keep you all posted.
