Day 8: Leh

We do not have any plans today other than relaxing and last minute shopping for the trek, which are mostly food items. We went to the town again at around 11 am. After having our shopping for the trek and also wandering through the Tibetan market for some handicrafts we had our lunch in a silent corner. Then we went back to our room.

I decided to stay there the rest of the day. Bru went to see the Leh Palace and the Nymgayal peak in the evening. I spend time packing the bag for the trek and taking some photos. We had our lunch as usual and had a chat with other tourists, majority of them Indians.

Last night there were a group of young Indian tourists in the homestay. At the night they were singing loud till late. In the morning when the boys from the homestay were cleaning I saw some alcohol bottles outside the room. Obviously they were drinking and singing. I felt really angry. I couldn’t understand how one could come to a homestay and drink and sing, not at all bothered about the family who gave them the room or about the other guests there. The new generation!!! Is this the culture and the manners that our future generations are going to get?
