From Brahma to Buddha, Spring 2011

Flying over the mighty Himalaya. Um, breathtaking?

This is just a glimpse of how excited they were to be in the mountains

Shiny, happy students

We landed safely in Leh yesterday and have been taking it easy, watching Bollywood movies, and sleeping the rest of the time. Our bodies are slowly getting used to being at 10,000 feet although going up the stairs leaves us quite winded. The group was ecstatic to be up in the mountains with fresh, crisp air to breathe leaving the noise and pollution of Delhi behind. It should be an enjoyable time here in Ladakh. We leave to go to the village of Domkhar tomorrow where we will be staying with Ladakhi homestays for one week. And then off on a week long trek! Communication will be very limited here but we'll try and drop a line when we pass through Leh!
