Rivers, mountains, driving and storms!

So the six hour journey to Dharamsala started with a drive back along the mountain road we drove down the night before. This time we could see the river in the daylight! And wow! I was excited to get on it! That would have to wait though.

Drive by photography - Camel.


On the way we stopped at a sheikh mosque which was beautiful - located next to a river the scale, design, materials and detail were beautiful. It was huge and there were lots of visitors along with us. One thing that's opened my eyes is the amount of different religions that coexist along side each other and the variety of different beliefs there are. I'm keeping my mind open to it all as I think that's the right thing to do instead of being a skeptic.


Food with the crew - Ammu, Dhruv, Myself, Ben & Pavane.

Outside - Ben, Ammu, Myself & Dhruv in the yellow.


After 7 hours - probably the closest journey so far to the 6 hours we predicted we arrived at Pavane's uncles house. Which was an impressive building. It was pretty good timing as pretty much as soon as we got out the car and into the house the sky had started turning black. We were fortunate enough to witness this amazing storm - strong winds, thunder, lightning and of course rain. It was spectacular - it ripped down branches off the tree's and caused all sorts of damage. The atmosphere felt alive! I really thought it was incredible - the force of Mother Nature and what it can do is a really powerful force at times!

This carried and gave us water - its a pretty cool invention.
