Dharamsala & McLeod Ganj - random pics

---

Just finished breakfast at Nick's and we're going to hit the Tibetan Museum today...do some shopping....sip tea and look at the view, etc. Rough life, huh? 😉

Anyway, here are some pics of our time up in the Himalayas.

View from bus to Dharamsala
The photo is really dark, but this is what it really looks like! This is a view of a "rest stop" about 6 hrs out of Delhi, heading West.

Twisting roads up to Dharamsala
This is why it takes 12 hrs to get here!

Scenes from the bus window
Driving through Shimla, getting closer to Dharamsala.

Billboard from the bus window.
I'm sure it's quite informative!

We're here!
View of our room at Hotel Tibet - not bad for $11 or so!

View from our balcony
wow!

Who needs a lawn-mower?
A typical scene up in McLeod Ganj. Cows and dogs roam the streets and yards all over.

One of the many dogs in McLeod Ganj
I have enjoyed spending time with many of the dogs. Some of them are quite picky, though, preferring croissants to crackers. hehe.

Another sweet dog
This poor little fellow was limping, possibly hit by a car. He did enjoy some pastry and a pat on the head, though. :)

Bhagsu Road
Bhagsu Road, on the way to Bhagsu Falls, has some of the best views in the area!

Cool for you!
I'm glad your Delhi Belly episodes are few and far between. Monkey on the roof? That's crazy! I'm glad you're having a great time. Thanks for the pics!

Pupster
isn't he the sweetest?? I went back and saw him a couple more times before leaving....I wish I could take them all home! What I really would like to do is figure a way to go up there (or around India) and neuter the dogs so the stray population will go down!! At least up in D'sala they take decent care of them, some of the store owners sort of "adopt" them and some have collars.... Hope to see you soon! xoxo, jules
