Day 58 (Sun 3 Sep) - McLeod Ganj

A cloudy start to the day saw us drop off our laundry and then have breakfast at Nick's. Took some piccies of the view from our room ( [1], [2] ).

Nice way to have breakfast; the soothing music, basically drums and cymbals but very slow was very relaxing (reminded Sarb of Blade Runner).

Walked to a small village called Bhagsu where we took in the great views. Through Bhagsu we passed some ornate Hindu temples and then out onto a path that led to the waterfall.

This path winds itself along the side of a green valley the bottom of which is strewn with boulders of all sizes. We could see the path of massive landslides/rockfalls that had completely denuded parts of the valley of all vegetation.

Walked to the waterfall at the end of the valley. Very beautiful.

On the way back the weather quickly closed in ( [1], [2], [3] ) such that we could not even see the waterfall some 200 yards away!

We passed a woman herding her goats as we walked back to MG through the market street; full of colourful stalls and enticing smells.

Done some internet stuff and had lunch at a rooftop resteraunt. Whilst sitting there it was amazing to see the clouds literally roll in, obscuring buildings that were not that far away. However it never became cold.

Went for dinner at McLos and had a couple of beers. Met a young American who had clearly come to 'find himself'.

Walked back to the hotel, past the cows that seem to take up residence in the town centre at night.
