Well, it's my last day of work and I just finished my last project (a summary of sovereign immunity and de facto immunity that the Government of India enjoys via it's Constitution and legislation). Katie and I leave tonight at 6pm our time, 5:30am west coast time, for Manali and the first leg of our 10 day wirlwind trip. Here's the breakdown:
10th: Delhi to Manali on a 14 hour, overnight bus
11th: taxi from Manali to Leh over the worlds highest mountain pass (or 2nd highest...I found conflicting reports of that. But the top of the pass is at 17,480 ft)
12th: Hike around Leh, Ladakh
13th: Leave Leh and go to Srinagar, Kashmir
14th: Find out if Cashmere really does look like Kashmir
15th: flight to Kolkata (Calcutta)
16th: stay with Iram until a 7:30pm train to New Jalpaidur
17th: "Toy Train" to Darjeeling
18th, 19th, 20th: Relax and recover in Darjeeling. Sip tea. Stare at Mt. Everest. Generally enjoy life.
21st: taxi to Bagdogra, flight from there to Delhi.
22nd: Leave Delhi for the states around midnight 22nd/23rd. HOME!
Well, time to go back and finalize some plans before boarding the bus. I'm going to miss Delhi! The next blog post will be from the top of the world! Namaste
PS: The Indian government has released a statement saying that Srinagar is safe to travel to which has caused tourism in the area to spike. It'll be full of tourists and is safe. I wouldn't go if it weren't safe. Plus, I've been able to talk my way out of a few sticky situations before. The Pakistani army has nothing on this face! ;) love you all!
