My Prashar Lake Article at Gonomad


My Prashar Lake article is up at Gonomad now. There were two surprises for us on this trek. One, the four and a half hour trek was quite steep and I did it with some stretch. This had never happened before.

Two, the caretaker of the guest house was reluctant to give us a room as I do not 'look' married.
That too has never happened before!

So, what do you think of the article?

I have been reading all your posts thru reader but couldn't come here to comment, lack of time being my reason.

Prashar lake is in my list since the day I first saw it on your blog.

So, are you happy being called singleton again ? :)

Karnail, thank you, yes it feels like that! That we are a lucky couple :)

Cuckoo, it was not being called single, it was about being called shady :) No, and I didn't like it.

with the emphasis on the red line near the hair. The dot also used to be a symbol of marriage but these days everyone uses it. But that red mark near the hair is still used by married women only. I am glad you liked the picture.

I think that's a complement - you don't "look" married :-)

Any tips for my upcoming trip to Leh? Not biking - traveling by road by bus etc. :(

Ishwar
this
may be of some help in planning a road trip to Leh. About not looking married, as long as they give us a room to live I am OK either way!

Great Pics and a nice read as always. Thx for sharing.

And I am glad, you didn't end up in baggi, listening to me :). I had a small doubt at the back of my head, how come the trek starts at Baggi, when the lake is quite far off by road, but then i was so happy seeing that you would goto Baggi, i somehow reconciled that in mountains, you never know, it must be the 'other' slope of the same mountain.

Now that you plan to go to Spiti. I have again gone into the wait mode for the trip log already :).
Happy treking and visitng for as long as you wish.

Rajeev, first of all I am so sorry for not replying to that mail. So, damn stupid of me, not intended at all but just happens somehow. I really loved the lake and people were quick to point out about Baggi and Bagi so not an issue at all.

And I am going a lot of places you have already been. This December we may head to Diu if I can be steady in my refusal to go to the hills yet again!
