Day 60 (Tues 5 Sep) - McLeod Ganj

We got up and found a nice tibetan cafe for breakfast.

After breakfast we headed off to the small village of Dharamkot - this time we made sure we were on the right road.

The road took us up quite a steep climb ( [1], [2] ) up the side of the mountain where we came across a small temple full of playful monkeys ( [1], [2], [3] ). We watched for a while as they played around a small idol and pruned themselves.

The round winds itself back into McLeod Ganj. Sarb uploaded some photos onto the blog as Jo went back to the room as she had a headache.

Late afternoon we walked to the Tibetan temple complex. Jo stayed below whilst Sarb had a nose around the temple, spun the prayer wheels and saw the gated entrance to the Dalai Lama's residence.

Walked back to the hotel where we were lucky to witness another spectacular sunset ( [1], [2] ).

Went for Tibetan grub at the Snow Lion restaurant. Excellent. Sat with an Israeli couple and chatted through dinner.

All four of us then went to McLos for a beer. The couple recommended we try to get to the Spiti valley as they had recently arrived from there. Seems like a good call.

Checked how to get to Spiti once back at the hotel. Seems like a long journey but we are up for it.
