A visit to a lonely, thousand year old monastery in Northern India.

One of the most beautiful memories I brought back from my trip through the mountains in Northern India is the horses. I remember seeing horses running in the wild freely with the great peaks towering above them.

At night, the ground shook as they trampled by and occasionally I was awoken with the heavy sound of their breath as they grazed through the night.

There is nothing quite like enjoying the warmth of a campfire in the middle of a freezing night.
