Amazed at how small your bags are, you were really packing light. How/where did you spend nights - I don't see a tent. Did you stay with people living there? Also, does everyone speak the same dialect along that route? Did you make the trip with just one puncture? And so on and so forth. Still looking at your photos. it wasn't a film ps Ecke but a digital fuji with the small 1/2 exr sensor. i couldn't get the bags/rack i had planned on getting, this was all i could get and it was quite enough actually. and no i hadn't taken the tent. since i had already done this route twice on a motorcycle, i planned the stops in such a way that i hit some village or other every night. stayed in cheap tent 'hotels' where they were available and homestays where there were no hotels. though, as in most other parts of india, people usually speak 3/4 languages but if one knows hindi (the main language of north india), one can manage well enough. and yes, luckily enough, one puncture was all i had... thanks for looking, regards, subash -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
