India in August?

Actually - he was very recently in Ladakh, but would probably be back in Manali very soon, if he's not already.

Defo worth attempting to seek him out anyway.

I feel i should know who NVP is but i really dont have a clue atm. (am a wee bit stoned )
it would have been interesting to meet up with an urbanite in manali for sure but we're in goa now anyway.
Manali was fantastic tho and we ended up being so comfortable that i decided we had to move. We had cable tv and free internet and a great room so it ended up feeling like we were just sat at home and the whole point of this trip was for my son to experience some travelling.
so a few days of stress and mucho rupees later we're in arambol beach overlooking the sea. just had a lovely swim in the sea, jumping waves and a good meal and a movie. stopping here for the last week i think. i need an input of beach life and i also want Jes to experience it becos i plan to move here full time asap.
watch this space..... if u like

I spent August in Ladakh and kashmi. Never mind monsoons, burning heat, civil wars etc. its the boatman you've got to watch out for in Srinigar.. .. I was pretty much made to feel like Terry Waite for much of my stay..


You could go to Ladkh, although if you're not trekking (i.e. with a 10 year old) then they're aint exactly a great deal to do. Then again it is September now.

In a country this size?!!
we've never sat down since we got off the plane.
unless you count the long haul trains and buses.

it is lovely and the people are very chilled too.
we've just spent the afternoon walking around the back streets
and I realised how big it is.
It must house 1000's of tourists in peak season but atm theres hardly any tourists here at all. maybe 100 that i've seen so far.

some great tropical weather too, on and off.

i agree, the least boring, most exciting time of my life, beyond any shadow of a doubt, was my six months in india before Uni. Even now, 12 years later, living in China, I never forget about it. China is a pale shadow of India in my view. No culture/vibrancy at all... although it is quite an easy life.
