about McLeod From Dave:
For a wonderful informative blog thank you. For the volunteer centre website thank you. I'm visiting india for 5 months in September and really look forward to the north of India.
Dave. I am glad you found my blog useful. Do volunteer, as they need our help. The buiding next to and in front of where HOPE holds their meeting have oppotunities for volunteering also. One of them is for ex-human rights prisoners only.
Shiva protection Absolutely we need protection from Shiva and all other Hindu Gods in the old buses and run down roads in India. Believe me I started to pray to all of them. Just wait until I tell you about my last road trip.
Tchau for now
More info on Kasol We did not have any troubles there at all, but again, we are not into the drug scene. The safety issues I read on the Lonely Planet and the reputation for being a place for pot smokers I heard everywhere, during and after I had already visited the village.
So, I think the safety issue is related to where you stand and what you end up doing in kasol.
I recommend you try to stay at a place called "Thakur Cottage" I met the owner, a very nice local, in the bus to Kullu. He and his wife run the place (purant@yahoo.com)
Enjoy your trip.
it depends on you... It's a tiny village, so not much to do there besides taking hikes and bus to other local villages. Like I mentioned, the tourists seem to be all from Israels and they group together to play pool and party, I guess.
very nice place to visit expect for the surprises mentioned by the girls of ones security especially for the girls travelling alone i would like to visit that place if could get a more info about the safety factor and a bit into the accomodation facility .reading the blog it seems to be a nice indian place to visit especially for foreign tourists .waiting eagerly for the response

Hi Bahiyyih Thanks for the message. Nice to know you are in touch. This has been an incredible adventure, full of challenges and surprises, but incredible anyways.
Take care.
I am really enjoying seeing all your pictures. What an adventure!! Those monkeys are very cute. I never new that a city could have so many of them. That is quite funny. Keep having fun!
`uniforms in `india The soldier's uniforms were great ntu loved the kids' ones even more, in every city. `the hair style was also part of the uniform.
`thanks for reading the blog.
Namaste A book would be nice... but finding time for it would be hard, unless I take another vacation to write it. not a bad idea. Anyone wanting to be the editor?

You did a lot! Hi, Wow, you guys did sop much is such a small time period at the beginning there. Sorry we missed you on Saturday. We went to the temple (Dalai Lama) and intended to come back in time to see you of, but as you will know, it poured it down in true McLeod style, so we got stuck and didn't want to walk back and get soaked. Hope you made it out OK. Have fun for the rest of your trip and keep in touch! Sharon and Scott xx

Nice blog. :)
I am going to Agra on Christmas day this year with my boyfriend and daugher. We are hoping to find a nice roof top restaurant with a romantic view of the Taj Mahal. That should make a memorable Christmas.

I'm a Brazilian and long time resident of the US.
I've always been fascinated by cultural diversity and I've had the opportunity to travel overseas over the years. 2005, however, brought me the "wings" to fly solo and further away. I started these new jorneys with Tibet (picture). That's huge for someone who used to panic ... full info
