Hi everyone! I made it back to Pokhara and spent 3 days there. What a beautiful part of the world! I could have spent a month there. The lake is on one side and the snow tipped mountains on the other! Something special. I went paragliding too! (Shhhh don't tell my parents). I am am safe and had such a great experience!!!

They are preparing for their new years and they are meditating and chanting from 3am - 9pm for 2 weeks. It was such an amazing experience to hear the chanting and drumming!

We started at 7:30am and went to Kajiara (Indian/Mini Switzerland) as it is called true near chamba valley which is 27 kms from Dalhousie. You will know why it is called so once you see the pictures. On the way we drove through a couple of forest ranges filled with pine trees. On one of the passes just outside Dalhousie we got some fantabulous view of several snow covered peaks which gave a lot of work to our cameras. At Kajiara we also visited a jagadhamba temple where there was a beautiful huge Shiva Statue. Later we returned to Kajiara had breakfast at one of the restaurants and returned to our hotel in Dalhousie. Then checked out of the hotel and started our journey to Udhampur at 12 pm. Found a new route from Dalhousie to ... read more
