The gaps between my posts are increasing, mainly because I’m not doing much photography lately. Last weekend I visited McLeodganj for a second time in two years. Although a bit too touristy at this time of the year, the place has a certain charm that will made me visit again.
Temple Road
I won’t bother sharing history or culture of the place or why it’s called Little Lhasa. McLeodganj has a lot to teach tourists about cooking, music, Hindi, and of course, meditation and yoga. You can find posters everywhere advertising the same.
Busy street – Shoppers, vendors, monks…
“In McLeodganj, the weather and the women are totally unpredictable”. That’s what someone told my friend, when within a few minutes we witnessed both bright sunshine and heavy downpour. In fact, on day two we were pounded by hail while trekking back to town from Triund. Speaking of which, here’s my best shot from the trip:

The trip ended with a miracle – our train escaped the wrath of rioters in Jalandhar (the train which left about half an hour before ours on the same route wasn’t so lucky, it ended up with 3 burnt coaches). We reached Delhi an hour before schedule as the train skipped Jalandhar, and learnt about the incident on news later in the day.
All the photographs are available in my Picasa album. Feel free to share comments.
