3 Weeks to Go Until India!

It is 3 weeks from today until I leave for my trip to India.  On this trip I will be doing a 7 day trek in the Markha Valley near Leh, which is in the top left corner of India wedged between Tibet to the east, Pakistan to the West and China to the north.  I have also booked a few days to explore the Golden Triangle – Delhi, Agra and Jaipur.  While the Leh area should be quite pleasant, the weather conditions in the Golden Triangle area are likely to be less than ideal. For more details on the trip, check out the Trip Notes here. It sounds like I should have access to wifi (apart from during the 7 day trek) so I am hoping to have a regular posts of my blogs and photos.  Stay tuned!


Peru 2011 Photos Added!

I have now added photos from my G Adventures ‘Absolute Peru’ trip taken in May 2011.  The trip was a comprehensive tour around Peru and included stops in Lima, Nazca, Arequipa, Colca Canyon, Puno, Cuzco, the Inca Trail and the Amazon Rainforest.  Details of my trip can be found here in the Trip Notes. Photos from my trip are located here.  


India 2015 Photos Added

I have added photos from my April/May 2015 Exodus ‘Darjeeling, Sikkim and the Singalila Ridge’ trip to India.  Details on the tour can be found here.  I also did the pre-tour extension to Kashmir prior to the main trip, which was a great experience and a serene place to relax prior to the hiking and tour.  The extension accommodation was a lovely carved houseboat in Lake Dal, Srinagar. Photos from my trip can be found here.  My trip blogs are located at https://mjmadriggaindia2015.shutterfly.com/.
