April 2006

I arrived in Manali yesterday, and since then of course, too much to do; getting gear both ready for the Nanda Devi treks, with endless phone calls to Munsiari, plus moving into a new apartment a few doors from Lobsang, and avoiding the shop closures; as ever, festivals that I never heard of just when you want to pick up some pasta.

Tonight I am having dinner with Lobsang, Tenpa, and families, and talking over the plans for the summer. Then tomorrow we head to Delhi, Steve and Lois arrive saturday, and we head north on the overnight Ranikhet express to Kathgodam, in the footsteps of Tilman and Shipton.

The only rest I will be getting in the next few days will be on that train!
