Udaipur art, architecture and religious devotion are evident at every corner. From tiny statues on wall niches to huge elaborate temples artistic talent is evident everywhere.
Lake Pichola Boat Ride – wonderful opportunity to see the palaces on the islands and the shores. Magical sail. No need to pay for official tours.
Israel Trail Sharon section between The Alexander and the Hadera “Rivers”. Dunes, eucalyptus forests, squatters colony, sculpture garden & industrial park. Another instance of the incredible variety of the little country in a 17-km stretch.
I arrived at Likir, Ladakh by chance, planning to go on the “Baby” trek, and had the best experience of my India trip. Homestaying with a wonderful family, eating in the field with the farmers after the harvest, peace, tranquility, beauty.
Manali to Leh I – green Himachal Pradesh section. My Felix Felicis day – awesome views, great company, music, photo opportunities, and a peak experience: moonrise over the Himalaya.
Jispa to Leh, the second leg of the trip from Manali to Leh includes the highest motorized passes in the world. Awesome views of peaks, glaciers, undulating rivers, pristine lakes, erosive formations, as well as charming stop-overs where you can have a Ladakhi dish or buy a woolen hat.
Manu temple in Manali, Himachal Pradesh, is the only temple for Manu, the first man. Like Noah, he was the only man saved from the Big Flood, to restart humanity. He was also the first law-giver and saved the vedas from the flood during his seventh reincarnation.
Vashisht didn’t measure up to my expectations, still it was fun to walk up to the famous waterfalls, eat at the Tibetan Cafe to sounds of Israelis playing guitar and singing, dip my toes at the hot springs, emjoy the village atmosphere.
Manali Himachal Pradesh – a village gem in Himalaya: cozy, friendly accomodations, atmospheric restaurants, beautiful views, nice merge of traveler and local cultures.

The Peace Guesthouse Leh is a wonderful place to explore the city from – great atsmophere, service. Hub for Ladakh, Leh has it all – scenery, culture, markets and great shopping opportunities.
Mangyal Tsemo Monastery in Leh is a great historical-religious site. After a rigorous climb with breathtaking views, you encounter yet another example of Buddhist nature-culture merge – multiple-armed Buddhas and demons, flags and totems.
Shanti Stupa Leh with adjacent temples, towering over Leh to the north, are magnificent Buddhist modern holy sites. Breathtaking views, beautiful art, Arduous climb. Visit concluded with unstructured luxurious shanti time with chai and momos at a zula down the “Israeli Road’.
No matter what you think, this city is it and not it. At night, in particular, different essences come to life in alleys, deserted fields, on top of ancient city walls, behind fences and under construction.
Oriental Dance Festival Eilat with multiple workshops and performances is an extraordinary international gathering of beauty, art, culture and, yes… extravaganza.
