Adventures in Kullu

Sit back and enjoy the City of Kullu in Himachal Pradesh. Located in the valley of the Himalaya Mountains... ye bahot sundar hai (it is very beautiful).
















Here is the hotel we stayed at. It was 500 rupees a night. About $12. It had really nice facilities- t.v, room service, western toilet, and carpet!!


















This is not a touristy town like Manali (where I went earlier) that has a British influence. It is very Indian.



The monkey's in India are PURE EVIL. That's why signs like this exist.



This is our friend Acharaya Ji! He is the friend we went to go visit. We were able to tape some teachings to use in the future. He is 94 years old and his mind is still as sharp as a tac!



We weren't too far away from my friends Julie and Emily so we went to their city for a day! Julie and I carried on our tradition of making chocolate chip cookies and sweat tea which started at the farm (we always miss you amanda and chesi). We decided to be very indian and mix the cookie dough with our hands and on the floor.



I spent the night in the Kullu hospital! My co-worker Nancy was admitted because she thought she had an apendicitus. So I stayed the night with her. She flew back the next day to my city. She was in the hospital for a few days but they didn't find out what was wrong. Its some crazy virus.



Yep...its what you think it is. It grows naturally. Another reason why this part of India is popular.



Joanna, Lindsey, and I being silly. This was a great trip for Lindsey and I to bond with the Ingold family. We had some GREAT fun.



This is Lindsey and I right before we got on the bus to go home. Notice we are smiling. We didn't know what type of bus experience we were about to have!!



Normally when Lindsey and I travel to the mountains we take the Sleeper Bus. It leaves in the evening and arrives the next morning. Usually a 12 hour ride. This was our fourth and most memorable bus ride. We were double booked on our bus, AC stopped working, got a flat tire at 1:00 AM that put us back three hours, and we arrived about 4 hours later than anticipated!! It was definetly memorable.

Thanks for reading this LONG post. I hope you enjoyed! Lots of fun memories. I love comments on any of my entries...it kind of lets me know who's reading this!! So leave a comment and say hi!!
