Jadoo, my yoga philosophy teacher. My favorite part of the course, with thought provoking discussions and amazing insight. Jadoo wasn't afraid to admit his past life adventures, all the more insight from experience of someones who's been highly educated, to drug addict, to mediation bubba, to yoga and everything inbetween.
Pachamama open mic night, with poetry and lots of Napalese music
By co-incidence Cyndal and I cross paths in India, find ourselves in one of the most beautiful places to camp atop the Himalayas.
Indian chilled cafe culture
Mountain hiking with monks
Cyndal and I find an isolated spot to do yoga in the mountains, as a goats-man herds his flock below

After so long in dusty loud and hot cities I was so happy to finally escape the the green mountains of serenity which does exist in India if you search for it
Waking up to these guys atop the Himalayan ranges
Mountain views, good chats, chai, and thali's
Cafe's pop up anywhere in India with the help of these guys to cart the supplies
I love some good book time
Darmakot views
When I first arrived to Dharamshala I went straight to the isolation and quiet way up in the hills. No cars, no crowds, just a beautiful view of the moonrise and peace and quiet. Was a mission to cart my backpack up here but well worth it.
Bhagsu and Darmakot views
Chai stop with a view. Creativity, friendliness, and unusual discussions can always be found as you find a perch on the floor in any Indian cafe... Sometimes best to avoid the conversations if you don't want to get stuck in discussion about spiritually enlightened encounters that involves acid.
McGleod Ganj traffic mayhem, unlike the traffic free mountain paths of upper Bhagsu. I would rarely venture down here but was best for good local food of momos and curries
Absolutely freezing to swim here, but I couldn't resist jumping in these crystal waters to moisten the scales that were ocean deprived.
