Some miscellaneous pics before i get to the last segment, "Getting there"......

For ateekt......he had asked me for a pic of a Ambassador car...i found one right in the motel parking lot....a taxicab...in India , all taxis have yellow licence plates...that's how you distinguish them from a regular car!....

The grandmother of all Indian cars...

Espied a guest-house complex for Govt. officers...they do know how to take care of themselves!....

Tibetans are everywhere in India....many of them are second generation Indian citizens!....this land is so diverse!....

Took a look at this garden created by one crazy guy....there are a lot of crazy people in India!...entirely artificial, made out of silk thread!...the reason for this?...absolutely nothing...his hobby!...the guy is a local doctor!...his friends were so impressed , they got the city to allot the space near the lake so tourists can see his garden...Rs.10 admission and the proceeds go to charity!...
