So now...I've been in Dharamsala for over 3 weeks. It has been an incredible experience. I am in a different world...a world so far and removed from hyper-modern civilization. To see the see those who express a similar faith are few and far between...Little houses, with no electricity or running water scatter the mountains and hills and valleys. Temples of idols, worship of animals, and Bhuddism prominate the land enchanting the people. This is a place of great beauty...yet with beauty comes a harder life...Now...I'm learning the nepali language...and a little hindi...It's a strange place here in the Kangra district... There are people speaking Tibetan, Pahari, Punjabi, Hindi, Nepali, and other languages... There are so many people groups and tribes...and so many untouched by western civilization or religion...
I hope that others would join me in exploring these mountains and the people who have lived here for thousands of years...THe culture is so rich with food and clothes that are so different in tradition, beauty and taste...
