INDIA
Kolkata
Unfortunately the highly talented local kids made it another tough day out in the field for an Englishman. Oh well, there's always a thirst quenching beer down at the pub waiting to drown my sorrows.








Travelling and eating in India. Thali meals are something in India not soon enough. Its a great way to taste a variety of curries, chutnneys etc and eat them the proper Indian way with your hand. Suzi tucking into out first thali in Chennai.

INDIA - Singalila National Park

The trek through Singalila NP was one of the most spectacular so far. Traversing the spine of the mountain range dividing Nepal and India, was a surreal experience . The weather for the first two days was very cloudy and the groups hope of seeing Mt Everest were dropping every hour. However, waking up at the break of dawn and watching the sunrise over four of the worlds five highest mountains, including Everest made the miserable, damp and cold conditions of the previous night in the rangers hut worthwhile.
