Nubra Valley & Amritsar
Nubra Valley
Arriving in the Nubra Valley
Sand dunes at 4000m!
Walking from Diskit To Hundar...
... over the sand dunes
Our guesthouse in Hundar
A military truck cemetery in the middle of the Himalayas: quite surreal!
Water puddles even increase the magnificence of the scenery
Amritsar
The atmosphere around the Golden Temple during the night ceremony is really magic
Delicious lassi to start the day
Street vendors in the center of Amritsar
At daylight, the Golden Temple is crowded with pilgrims
Worshippers of different sikh sects walk around the tank, dressed in colourful outfits
Pilgrims bathe in the tank
Uncut beard and hair, the turban and the steel bangle are some
of the distinctive characters of the Sikh...
... the dagger or short sword is another one
The lively streets of Amritsar make it a nice place to spend a couple of days
The Border with Pakistan
Every evening the changing of guards at Wagha, the border crossing to Pakistan...
... entertains hundreds of people from all over India
These women literally fought for the best seats (we know something about it!)
