Rajaji National Park and Haridwar
D16: Rajaji and Haridwar 12/4/2019 In the city of Rishikesh for a few hours, we enjoy a last one-hour yoga session for 4 euros / 300r. The bridge over the Ganges is still congested. Leaving Rishikesh, we will also leave the mountains. We are still not determined to drop pennies to the tuktuks to get…
Mussoorie, Landour, flycatcher and mantras
D13: Mussoorie 9/4/2019 It was a cool night. We are in Mussoorie at 1880m altitude in Uttarakhand. The day is going to be great and we plan to hike all day. When we planned this trip, we wanted to go for a hike with a local guide. We wanted to discover a mountain or an…
Jaipur, Amber, scams and birds
J6-J7: Jaipur 2-3/4/2019 With traffic, I think we spent an hour entering Jaipur. We’re coming in from Bundi. It’s still days when the tuktuks throw themselves at us with totally crazy rates. We attack the line of tuktuks and end up finding one, less ambitious with an electric vehicle! Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan.…
Climb to Sajama high-altitude camp
D14: 9/17/2017 In the morning until 8am, the sun touches the tent around 8.30am while we have breakfast. Around 10am, everything is folded and we leave slowly towards the altitude camp. From the base camp, looking at the Sajama, the altitude camp is behind the rock block most to the left on the ridge that…
From La Paz to Salar d’Uyuni
D10: 9/13/2017 Huge altiplano! Following our change of program, we leave for the famous Uyuni salar. It is a salt desert. The road is long and not very interesting. So we take the opportunity to read, listen to music, sleep and write 🙂 We stop at the edge of a meteorite crater. Impressive unfortunately a…
Ascent of Pequeno Alpamayo
D8: 9/11/2017 By Eric (translation François and Guillaume): We leave the newly and cephealgic Condoriri base camp (4700m) (with a headache) to the east along a narrow slate path, towards the moraine of a glacier that is easily reached. The ascent of Pequeno Alpamayo (5410) begins with a nocturnal approach to the ice tongue amidst…
Trek to Condoriri Base Camp
D7: 10/9/2017 First steps beyond 5000m! The tent froze overnight. The pee outing at 1am was cool. Unlike other nights under the roof, we slept properly. We leave quietly along the lake from the left. There is a somewhat steep passage before reaching the next lake. A stop allows us to appreciate the glaciers and…
