Morning at 4000 meters

Arunachal Pradesh. Himalaya, India. We slept the night in a vehicle here in -8 degrees at this altitude, after a heavy storm closed the road for the night. This is the road......and the vehicle was a ramshackle public bus with broken windows and wooden seats. We had no sleeping bags or super warm clothes!

Oh Sas... Thanks for the lovely comment! I am just trying to get to as many remote places as I can, not too expensively...to see cultures and places which still have tradition. Places untouched by much western influence.
Love, hugs and have a super week, dear Sas

Actually sleeping at locals might be less comfortable, as they often do not have chimneys, so one breathes fumes all night.

Diana Australis ^club has replied to m̌ ḫ ^club

Exactly. Agreed. But the unlined tin bus was freezing, especially as the windows did not fit and snow was entering the bus!

But that's what you came for. A challenging adventure, weren't u?!

A marvellous place to spend the night, provided you had the right accommodation, Diana. I hope you had plenty of good sleeping bags or warm clothes.

So and with even more snow, it still has a few years ago here in the Allgäu looked from October often to March...

Hi Diana

A very nice picture, and great story!!
I do wonder how you managed to stay warm!!

Wonderful composition in the way the two tyre trackslead us into the picture.

I am sorry to say that I am not able to join in this week, since I have not been able to upload anything for a week (and my messages asking about it are ignored).

Best Wishes, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
Peter
