And the skies cleared
This journey was meant to be. Nothing better than being surprised by a cozy guest house. Love the architecture and the snow peaks.

You know....
Drop of liquid on shiva ling is not keep shiva calm from sexuality, but to keep him out of going into deep trance/meditation and also take care of the worldy order.

Drop on Shiva lingam
Ji... thanks for the comment... there are many explanations about these things.... many accounts.... its never clear and simply one thing for us fragile humans to understand. Great you tell me about this other one too... which makes sense also. What I have said was not of my own imagination but taken from a learned pundit source also. Om Nama Shivaya.

staying in Kolayat?
Hi. I visited Kolayat just for a couple of hours back in 2010 and thought "this would be such a nice place to hang out for some days". Now I am going to go and do that... so did you find some places there to stay? Are there simple guest houses or homestays there? Would love to know. Thanks for the pics.. just as I remember it... and I agree even given my brief experience that this was a shanti place. Om Nama Shivaya

Open your eyes to wonder
We sometimes open our eyes and wonder at the times bygone.. and realize the individual instants are everything and yet they can be deemed as nothing in the collective. Beautiful thoughts!

Sweet story!
It's experiences like this, offering an adventure to and bonding with this boy and thus his family, that give meaning to our lives--a way of service to others. And he also learned that on mountain trails, as in life, we often get lost and then found. It's just part of the journey. Good for you!

I am sure the kid loves you, same as the whole family.They respect you, and trust you. (You did a good job when the kid was bitten) Personally, I trust you, too. But, if we talk about going to the mountains and taking shortcuts....buffff, better take a lot of water. However, I am surprised that you always find the right way, the mountain Gods guide you..you are lucky. Nice story :-), thanks.
