Manali and Amritsar Varanasi 
Der Norden Indiens ist eher kalt geraten - das Bild entstand in
Manali . Bevor dort der Winter einbrach war ich klettern Mit'n British, Nick, a little hiking in the surrounding mountains have, eat delicious momos (Tibetan dumplings filled) of the evening I warmed the oven, trying to slow the speed of my gut.
On the way to a destination for Indians on a thick population of this country was photographed on a donkey, he rose to this solely for that purpose, we passed through small villages with uniformed school children. We also visited NEN boring waterfall and great super hot springs at a Hindu temple in the not I could stand longer than 5 minutes at a time. At least it was at last hills and less Indian. Miners are real vieeeel relaxed - I could even read out every few hours and was only raised where I was from, as my father would be so
From there I went to
Amritsar - the city of the Sikh
and Golden Temple of
Pakistan near the border. The Sikhs are a minority religion in India and have been so few have to participate. They are not so much on religious rituals and see the Sikhism rather than philosophy. like part of the interaction and therefore they offer free food and sleeping space for each. In return I have something donated, washed and peeled potatoes - Visit as most of the others the temple.
but I slept in a separate section for tourists - but it was so funny. One day we drove to the border about 70 miles away with a very funky show on both sides. Pakistan may like Indian soldiers (are the two States, as is well known not particularly green) completed call a kind of synchronized dance with inserts what soldier longest. Children on both sides were running a race with national flags on both sides and this was rewarded with applause each.
However, only the Indian side had tribune filling tourists. The Pakistanis had to numerically inferior anyway, with veiled women, after all, extremely agile and give children happy. Then I was in Lucknow
, a town on the way to Nepal. There was a lot of administrative buildings of the British admire that were then immediately taken by the Indians who behave now compared to the infantry not unlike their predecessors. Somehow a little '
Animal Farm'. There I visited India after all, the first supermarket - a celebration! There was real chocolate ... :)
In the Himalayas there is a mountain range called Annapurna Himal . This leads one trekking route - and this I have followed for 12 days. Sometimes alone, mostly of people from all over the world. This beautiful trail passes through many small-hinuistische Nepalese or Tibetan Buddhist villages, through forests, across rivers, wild mountains, rice fields, snow and debris. There 
Every day there is a new environment and at least the first 9 days and ever-decreasing temperatures. Of the season in the 400 trekkers fortunately nothing more to see - and the fact that we have rarely made an alarm clock, I probably owe met hardly anyone to be on the trail. 
The rice farmers have harvested, dried, sorted, drove the donkeys up the hill and friendly greetings. Je höher der Weg, umso größer der Anteil der tibetischen Buddhisten. Weiter oben gibt es auch immer öfter leckeren Yak-Käse und die entsprechenden Produzenten. Angefangen hab ich mit zwei Franzosen und einem Belgier, runtergekommen bin ich mit einem Mexikaner, drei Leuten aus den USA, einem Kanadier, nem Briten, einem Mädel aus Polen und einem Belgier. Das geht verdammt schnell, die Leute sind extrem locker und kontaktfreudig - da passt man sich an. Das letzte Stück war schwierig, die letzte Nacht hab ich kaum geschlafen, die Atmung beschleunigt - natürlich auch während des Wanderns und mit vielen Pausen durchsetzt. Schokoladenriegen werden zur ertragreichen Handelsware eines jeden Hostels oder Restaurants. Unser finales Ziel - heiße Quellen um den Muskelkater zu beruhigen hatten wir schließlich auch irgendwann erreicht. Des Nepalesen Leibgericht Dal Bath, hatte ich erstmal gemieden - das war ein wenig zu oft. Da bekommt man einfach Lust auf schönde Pizza. 
Nach ein paar Tagen Pause war ich noch im Langtag-Tal für vier Tage wandern. Ganz anders, viel mehr verschiedene Vegetationszonen und andere Leute, weniger touristen-gewöhnt und natürlicher. Das war fast noch schöner, Bilder sind ja schon zu sehen.
