We arrived in Leh, this morning at 8am with 6 bags left in Delhi as we were too heavy (the plane, not the bags) - they are arriving tomorrow. The flight was amazing (with a good breakfast too - omlette with cumin..mmmm) - Mountains as far as the eye could see from 30,000ft, most with snow on and some fantastic rock formations - I took some pics for my lessons about sedimentary rock -one time those rocks were under the sea.
Leh is 3500m above see level so we are all a little out of breath - we are getting a lot of water too to stave off altitude sickness.
The scenery around us is fantastic - we all surrounded on all sides by mountains.
The food is great too - curries for every meal - really tasty too - Ive been eating a lot of Vedgie options (shirin would be proud!).
All in all - this is an amazing place and although I am here to help the students have a great time I am having an amazing time too!
I've tried to upload pics to this site but the comp wasn't having it so they are on my flickr site:
