Tons of New Photos from Our Latest Adventure

Adam's parents came to visit us these past couple of weeks, and considering it is so hot in Bangalore, we decided to head back up north to the mountains of Himachal Pradesh. There, we spent some time in Dharamsala, the Indian home of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and exiled Tibetan Government. (his residence is in rear of photo)...

and Shimla, the former summer capital of British Raj...

On the way back home, we also stopped at Nek Chand's Famous Rock Garden in Chandigarh...


Everybody had a great time. We'll upload more photos to the blog soon along with a longer repot on the trip. In case you cannot wait, more photos from all 3 places can be found on our Picasa site.

Scenes from our Himalayan Trek

We just got back from a nearly two week trip to north India that was highlighted by a 9 day trek over Kuari Pass in the Garhwal Mountain region of the Himalayas. The altitude and steep slopes made the trek more difficult than we anticipated, but we managed to trek over 100km without any major problems. The breathtaking scenery that accompanied us most of the trip more than made up for the extra effort we had to put in climbing up and down the mountains. Here's a must see slide show from our trip, including a few photos from Rishikesh, where the trek we organized the trek through the outfitting company, Red Chilli Adventures.
