the way down, wasnt like the way up. Especially when we reached Jomosom on 2600 meters it changed. Jomosom has an Airport. many tourists avoid to climb up. they fly to Jomosom and going down. So its much more touristy and also the landscape isnt as impressive then the other side. But nevertheless i is a beautiful landscape!
after weeks only with cold water, it was like paradise on earth to bath in those hot springs
Three great weeks!! It is such a difference, when everything, which has speed up our life, is suddenly gone: No cars, no TV, no telephone, no streets, often no electricity, no radio. You can feel the difference every breath you take. Life is much slower..people speak much more to each other in a much more intensive way, because they are not disturbed by radio etc. I remember very well when two women where talking to each other. they were in two different villages.. maybe one kilometer away. Both were standing on the roof of their houses and were shoutingto each other.. natural telephone. Also distances are getting their meaning back when you have everything to do by feet. It also means open doors: you never know when your relatives are coming from another village.
Not everything is of course as romantic as it sounds like. Infant mortality is high and life in that altitude is very tough.
But nevertheless it seems like, it is easer for them to smile (to enjoy what they have) then poeple like us who seems to have so much comforts, that we forgot to appreciate....even when we have subordinated our whole life to get even more comfort.
sometimes we have forgotten to enjoy life
It was a great time!!!
to be continued....
