Yogi Singh Revisited
Blog: Seat of Our Pants - 19 January 2011
It wasn’t until mid-trip that we actually began to see comments in the comments field of our articles (outside of family members gushing over our happy little distractions). Typically, we would get little heads-ups from other travelers and bloggers, commenting on this or that. One post totally broke that mold – to today’s date it [...] No related posts.

Blog: WildJunket - 30 August 2010
As our bus crawled into the misty highlands of Dharamsala, we felt like we had left India behind. The humid heat and raucous chaos were all gone, only to be replaced by cool mountain air and calm serenity. Tibetan monks stroll languidly through the town’s narrow alleys.

10 do's for McLeod Ganj, Dharamsala
Blog: 99 + 1 countries - 1 November 2009
1. Arrive in McLeod Ganj two hours early from Manali at 4 AM when everything is closed. Fight with touts who want to take you to the shabbiest guesthouses down some freaking long steps. Say no to the overpriced lousy rooms and walk the even longer seeming steps back up and camp out on the street with stray dogs. Good fun if you have the right company! Shalom! Something in Danish!

13 tips to a perfect day in Manali for 4 euros - all inclusive!
Blog: 99 + 1 countries - 24 October 2009

Temple architecture in its bareness and squareness is quite original though.3. Follow the path past the temple until you reached a big rock onto which steps have been carved. Half way up take a right.

Blog: Kieron Clark - 16 August 2009
It was getting on for quarter past two, but at the bus stand in McLeod Ganj everything had ground to a halt. A dozen or so local travellers stood around the ticket office, waiting patiently for it to re-open. We joined them, doing our best to find the back of the queue then, realising [...]
