Lake at Pokhara.

View from bus station (less the hordes of touts).

Haridwar & Rishikesh were very disappointing. Hindu temples can’t compete with the dramtic settings of buddhist monasteries. The towns themselves were very dirty.

First impression of Haridwar.

A statue (???)

On the riverbank at dusk to watch lanterns float by.

Favourite location for bollywood, outside Christ Church on the ridge at Simla.

Viceregal Lodge, where amongst other decisions, Indian partition was decided in 1947.

A bit of greenery on the surrounding hills (not much else going on).
