Recently we welcomed back our esteemed guests at Cottage Shali Heights.

After lunch we had a lovely walk around the village and we could appreciate how rural life in the Himalaya is interwoven with Nature.

For evening we ventured into the valley near the village which served our ancestral grazing meadows and could spot some birds.

Greetings to the Great Team - May 2015

Yesterday, day Five was a day of thrill and delight!

GHO Experience Series - 2025.

Leaving Nimu House our cars roared up through the frozen terrain to reach the top of Kardung La. Everyone thronged near the sign board mentioning the elevation of Kardung La and proudly posed in front of the board. Now the sharp descent through this lunar landscape took us to a small hamlet of Kardung for Lunch.

For evening we arrived in the sand dunes of Hundar village, enjoyed a double hu**ed camel ride, alpine archery and ATV ride and this concluded the ye another wonderful day in Ladakh.

Day third of our Manali Leh - GHO Himalayan Experience.

We started from Manali to Jispa on 15 June from Manali to Jispa and yesterday we did an adventurous Jispa - Leh drive over those high driving passes. And a big shout for BRO and all road constructing agencies they have done an amazing job. Indian kids studying abroad were stunned to see the roads!

While I write this note I am sitting by a grueling stream passing through the lawns of a heritage homestay experience in the shade stone fruits and walnut grooves at The Nimu House.

The routine morning flying practice sessions of Indian Airforce ✈️ add another sound to that of running water!

Jakhu Temple, situated at an altitude of 2445m is named after a sage 'Yaksh' who meditated here and reference comes from Ramayana when Lord Hanuman came in the search of 'Sanjeeveni' herb from Himalaya. It was here the sage offered directions to Lord Hanuman for mount 'Dronagiri' to get the herb.

Thank you so much Sanjay for recommending Pankaj (Great Himalayan Outdoors) for the village walk. Both Alan and Kim were so impressed by him and they kept saying he was one of the best guides they had come across. Thank you once again.
