Ladakh

                                Ladakh              'Little Tibet', 'the moonland' and 'the last Shangri-la' are names that have been applied  to Ladakh, all with a bit of truth. Ladakh is a high-altitude plateau north of the Himalaya situated geographically in Tibet. It's a miniature version of Tibet, the people are Tibetan in their culture and religion, and there are many Tibetan refugees.    The Himalaya is a very effective barrier to rain-few clouds creep across their awesome height and as a result Ladakh is barren beyond belief.

Parvatti valley, Kullu

                The Parvatti Valley runs north-east from Bhuntar, which is south of Kullu. You can travel up the valley by bus.               Manikaran is built near sulphur hot springs and it's interesting to watch the locals cook their food in the pools of hot water at the Sikh temple. There are also hot baths at the temple and, of course, free accommodation. Hot water is nice to have in Manikaran because the sides of the valley are very steep, and not much sun gets in. It's said that Siva sat and meditated for 2000 years at Khir Ganga, a 30-km walk from Manikaran.               There are a lot of French and Italian hippies in the area. There's great trekking and wonderful scenery here.
