I wake early to check out the view from the terrace. Below in the valley we can hear holy music being played from the temple, with a very low background hum even further in the distance - perhaps from the river. It's a very soothing start to the day.
The cloud is sitting atop the peaks above us, hiding the very top of the mountains and we're told the view on a clear day is breathtaking. As the sun is obscured, the light is flat as are the colours. Despite this it's a fantastic place to be. I try to take a photo, but the camera just can't capture the majesty of the scenery, it has to be experienced.
The night before we we're told the sky would be clear at 5am and we should wake early. One brave soul did so and reported that the view was the same as it is now. I feel so much better. However, apparently we missed the serenity of that moment - buy we've only his word for that.
We're off to the remote Spiti valley today, Alex says the next three days are at another level of spectacle. I can't wait.

I suspect most of us will never experience what you are; mostly because we ain't as crazy as y'all to ride these "dangerous" roads especially on a motorbike. So we are looking to you to describe, as best you can, what you see. BUT PLEASE DO NOT BE AN IDIOT AND BLOG WHILE YOU ARE RIDING. Do it safely when at-rest!
