And it was worth it. A 35km walk from a tiny village called Govindghat up to the Valley of Flowers (3,000m above the sea) and back again. Apparently from July the snow-filled valley that you can see is full of flowers. I take their word for it.So I made it to the Himalayas and, after a total of 32 hours on buses and in jeeps from Punjab, I'm feeling quite smug. I'm not much looking forward to the next 17 hours back to Delhi though. Ho hum.

Great picture. Wish I'd been there. Amazing to think the last glacier we saw together in NZ was only 300 metres above sea level and here you have had to walk 30km, climb 3000m, to look up at the real McCoy. What a wonderful and strange world - and you've seen so much of it.
