This is a photo blog with hopefully funny and interesting captions because there are lots of photos to share.
Also possibly because I am slightly tired of writing.
The first three photos showcase the view from the hotel before we left.
Our first stop was the waterfall. On our way, we stopped at a shop. A few guys bought kurtas. But we made everyone hurry because there was a lot we had planned for the day. The intenery we created included:
The rest of the group walking towards the waterfall's water because Prapti, Shanay, Niti, and I decided that if we go ahead, everyone will be forced to follow.
The tiny trek till here is enough for this delicate bunch. The waterfall was barely visible and we are at the center of it but we don't care. There are mountains all around us. Large stones that look stunning, and crystal clear water.
This was the largest patch I found without plastic although there is a speck of green on the top right corner. But the water was really clear. If there was no waste, and if we weren't almost stepping in it, I would have been tempted to drink it.
This picture is perfect in my opinion. I clicked solo photos of everyone here. Every single person you saw in the photograph much above. It was a little annoying that people kept coming in the middle to click their own photos, but that's okay. I hope everyone liked them. The waterfall basically became a photo session though.
We proceeded to go to the temple we had passed before reaching the waterfall. There is no picture of it. It was nice. We were there for just five minutes though. Our next stop was lunch.
These hungry faces overordered and we ended up wasting a lot of food.
Excellent quantity. Tasty food. Hot food.
We split up after lunch. The group with me visited the bathroom one after another, had some baksu cake at a local bakery which was great too, and proceeded to the Tsuklakhang complex. The other group of three girls and three guys went to a spa to get their hair washed. (The guys did not get their hair washed, they just went for company.)
Romit really wanted to shop. We met a Sambhav lookalike and creeped him out. We walked inside the monastery. The monk was not helpful, and I do not remember anything beyond there being many avatars of Budhha painted.
We got back after a long walk uphill. Some of them got a taxi. But the climb warmed us up. Romit got lost. We found him too thankfully. It was important to find him because sometime in the middle of all this he had broken his phone. We went back to the hotel to a tasty dinner.
I think I slept off because I was really tired. Niti and Saumya proceeded to play.
I should also probably mention that two buses full of people went for this amazing trek which even I wanted to go for but my difficulty climbing and going down stairs did not allow me to. Nonetheless, I had a great day, and so did they. They were literally next to snow mountains which is really cool.
We were happy with our waterfall.
And hot tibetian food.
And coffee.
And some of us, very happy, with a hairwash.

| Parthvi took this photo. It is amazing. |
WaterfallThe waterfall was tiny. That's mostly because we were off season.
Tibet Kitchen for lunch
Dalai Lama Temple at Tsuklakhang Complex
Tibet Museum (we did this the next day)

TIBET KITCHEN MADE AUTHENTIC HAND-MADE JAIN NOODLES FOR ME I was the happiest. 100% recommended.

| A monastery? on our way to the complex |

| Sunsets are always pretty. |

| They were very satisfied. |

Why do we look like politicians.
I turned all of these and used so much strength, only to realise that there was something that gave you a grip underneath towards the last few. Sigh. Sometimes I feel really stupid.
Found this in a small room. Isn't it so pretty?
We moved on to Illiterati after that. It had become dark by now and we had a long walk downhill. Illiterati was important to go to because it was a book cafe and book cafes are cool. The coffee, we realised, was also very good.
We all end up where we belong....
The book cafe was Instagram worthy. Haven't put this up on Instagram yet.
