Himalayan kids , outside of Leh Ladakh, Jammu Kashmir, India.

in a village outside of Leh ( actually closer to Pangong Tso Lake ) I saw these kids playing and I just had to get out and get some pictures…to my surprise the big boy spoke excellent english !

I’ve never seen someone riding a cow actually and he was just the most charming little boy ever.  (of course the tiny little village had their own praying wheel)

Sultanpur National Park,a bird sanctuary

The other day I was in much need of positive energy and at our other home I get that from nature so I decided to try the same here, so off I went to Sultanpur National park which is about a 40 minute drive from our home here in Gurgaon.

a two hour walk did give me some positive energy, some good pictures and some good exercise…not bad at all…

I do recommend to get to the park early, meaning when they open at 9. Bring some coffee and enjoy.
