More of Around Bahu Prakash also accompanied us on an exhilarating valley drive & a visit to a waterfall. The drive on local roads that resembled a rough track took us through Suketi, Seraj, Skukad, Bagra, Naihra and other small villages. It was all excellent viewing - apple orchids, terraces...

I guess the risk of that strategy is that you might miss cancellation cover if something happens between paying for part of the trip & when you start the insurance? I don't think it is a black & white situation.

Prakash is very hands on and took us on a 6km forest walk and explained the lifestyle & the features we saw. This walk looped us past Balo temple, Bahu Lake and an old British hut. Most of the trek was through cedar forest. Found in the host's garden Balo Temple. Prakash speaks much slower...

Bahu We had a 3 night homestay at Ishan Log Huts Ishan Log Huts This was an excellent stay and we were the only guests. All the food was fantastic(vegetarian) with much of it sourced from their own organic gardens where we also helped ourselves to apples from the trees. The owners (Prakash &...

Plenty of bailey bridges Last stop before the final climb to Bahu This was a video of part of the last climb to Bahu. Heaps of switchbacks, rough, backing back to avoid traffic and getting past buses & trucks. There are a lot of apples & cabbage being transported & no formal loading...

Nalagarh to Bahu- After breakfast it was back in the car for the haul to Bahu. Some excellent bits of highway, many small villages (Maura/Bhoai/Sunan/Sanyard/Sambal etc) the Sulley & Beas Rivers, the Great Himalayas National Park, plenty of road tunnels, some hydro power, plenty of evidence of...

Our overnight stop was at Nalagarh. We stayed at Fort Nalagarh- an old heritage hotel that appears to have undergone a poor reno about 30yrs ago.We enjoyed some great food with some friendly Indian travellers as company. .Basically had this stop to cut the trip. Outdated numbers but some...

The Drive out of Delhi. The main focus of our trip was Ladakh. We had big distances to cover, we needed to acclimatise for the altitude and we had previously seen some of the area north of Delhi, so the plan was to avoid overlaps if possible. We were picked up after breakfast, ready for the...

Hotel Delhi-Vivanta by Taj We stayed here for our departure night last year so it was an easy decision to stay again. The drive to the hotel skirts the airport. Certainly not as close as the Aerocity options but for our requirements it represented a great deal. 5 Star Hotel in New Delhi near...

Transfer to T1 Sydney Some choices available with car/train & bus options readily available. I had a Diddi discount so we used them to the airport in the morning. $14.27 & a good quick trip with an experienced driver- a Romania fellow who was well travelled and we had a good conversation. TG476...

Meriton Mascot Central We have had good experiences here before so it was an easy decision to make. I am an Eminence member for rates, you don’t have to pay upfront & can cancel & rebook if the rate drops. We enjoyed a very comfortable stay for $167 for a 1 bedroom King room-great value for...

PQQ-SYD ZL 6363 Booked just prior to the announcement of the Administration for Rex but no problems anyway. The Rex fare was over $100 each cheaper than Qantas so we saw that as a good option. Driven to PQQ by a neighbour & quickly through the check-in procedures at Port Macquarie- still a...

Think I have a few rock photos you might enjoy:)

We have covered a fair bit of territory in India but our regular driver/guide Magan has been keen to show us around the far north. Sept is a fair time for this sort of adventure- perhaps still a little wet around Manali but predicted to be good weather further north. I have posted a couple of...
