It has taken me a couple of months to process this trip. I previously reviewed on the plane back from trips. You see a lot of things, I was away 20 days.
Dehli hot, a wall of heat as expected. I went out for a couple of longer explorations, plenty of things to see. If at the Hotel Deventure, Shandipur is the easier metro station to walk to, but further away from the centre; metro is the cheapest way to get around and air conditioned once in the train, tuk-tuk’s are around 10 times more expensive and hassle you if you dare to walk, or you can book an air conditioned taxi if you want to spend more. My favourite moment here ended being India arch at sunset at the end of my trip.
The hotels we stayed in were all comfortable enough for me, some more basic than others, The Milky Way in Hundar or Traditional Havali Hotel in Jaipur were probably my favourites.
Indian towns and cities have many cows, dogs, monkeys wondering around; there is lots of building work going on, like the nation has never been quite finished, even up in Ladakh on the trek around Wachan.
The camping for me was comfortable; single persons get a spacious 3 person tent.
The weather was mixed, sometimes sunny, some showers and fog, unusually cool (I had expected to be hot when walking).
Each day’s walks were shorter going up than I expected, though as I had some altitude sickness probably for the best. Our guide had another shorter walk most afternoons after tea from camp and when she didn’t I had a little stroll myself unless it was too wet (or on a morning to see the sun rise).
We also saw other people trekking and an Indian army expedition higher up.
