The Mighty Himalayas

---

Today Bean and I took a minibus ride into the heart of the mountains to a small town called Naranag. This town has just recently gotten some limited forms of electricity. We were able to interact with the locals and stayed at one of the homes for lunch and tea. And for Bean, a little shisha from the hooka, eeeeh. We then went on a trek for a few hours into the mountains. We followed a river and took turns riding a small pony. We were led through the trails by our guide, Shirad. He sang songs with us and we had some good snowball fights with him. He really liked our watches so Bean gave him his as a gift when we left. We returned to our boat house on Nagin Lake in Srinagar in the evening and ate supper to the sounds of Muslim prayers echoing across the lake. This is quite a magical place and is indeed a paradise on earth, as all the travel guides continue to tell us. I hope I can get some pictures up soon.
