Day 359: A Girl Travelling Alone in India

High up at 2000m (7000ft), Darjeeling is a pretty chilly place at the best of times. During our stay in December 2011, we wrapped up and headed out to ride the famous Darjeeling Toy Train. On our way we saw this pack of dogs curled up doing their best to keep warm!
Travel Photo of the Day: Prayer Wheels in Nepal
During the Annapurna Circuit Trek when we visited Nepal, we would pass through villages high in the Himalayas. Long lines of Prayer Wheels were situated at the start and end of most of the larger villages. Always keeping to the left, you would spin each one as you passed it, bringing good luck and safety on your journey. The level of detail on carvings and paintings were incredible!
