Bouldering in Manali is a bit like searching for easter eggs. Finally found a great crowd and enjoyed discovering, cleaning and pinching the rough granite.

In the woods. Ben pulling hard towards the sunlight.

On the way to Rohtang Pass which was not open yet due road work after the winter. I´ll come back an other time ...

I went south in the beautiful Parvati valley and hiked to the hotsprings in Khir Ganga where Shiva is said to have meditated for 3000 years.

Solar power after a spring storm.

I left Parvati during strong rain and made my way back down Dheli through the ineffable madness of indian traffic a last time. Ready for europe?
