Walk to Triund

Apologies for the loooong delay between posts, its basically been down to a combination of limited access to broadband, a routine of study with nothing interesting to report on and a few other obstacles. However, I have scrounged around and found a few nice pictures from a recent walk to Triund. Triund is an alpine meadow about 1000m in altitude above McLeod Ganj. The walk takes about 3 hours (or so...our group was a little lesiurely in their approach) to get up to an altitude of around 2900m. Me and another aussie decided that that was too easy, and so dashed up to the "snow line" about another 90 min round trip which gets you up to about 3200m. It was misty, but very nice. Enjoy the pictures by clicking here.

Hi Free,

Finally got time to visit your "blogger". I am very happy to see you having good time in Dharamsala (such as your walk to Triund). Talk about routine, what else can be more routine then our lives here in California? Your beautiful photos of Triund reminded me of our visit to Trijang Rinpoche stupa in the vicinity of McLeod, although it's no where near the altitude of Triund.
Try to keep up with your Tibetan study! BiBi and I also are trying to start learning Tibetan with a Tibetan monk at our teacher's temple. Hopefully next time when we get to see you again, we could exchange a few more words than just "Tashi Delek"
:-))

Take care.
