Spending one night in McLeod Ganj at Hotel Ashoka with a wonderful view to the Manimahesh Kailash (5.656 m) mountain for 350 RS/Night.

Slept well and got up at 8, having a breakfast at a Tibetan restaurant - some mixed fruit chocolate pancake. Tasting very good.

McLeod Ganj is a very small but very touristy place. You get here everything, starting from Red Bull to Ritter Sport and other kinds of goods. I did not expected it here. McLeod Ganj is placed in a valley between the mountains. As I have heared, this is not the very best place, as the earth is shaking quite often here.

I visited gompas and temples, the government of Dalailama and his homeplace. It was interesting seeing the praywheels, seeing some Tibetan signs, fighting for independence. It is very interesting getting in contact with this religion.

In the afternoon I had a coffee and an applecake and looking forward meeting Mehmet at 5.30 PM for having some dinner. Then we are going to split and continuing our journey in different ways. Thanks a lot Mehmet, it was very nice travelling with you. Good luck :)
