The UNC group outside of the hotel in Manali. Later today we would be leaving Jeep to go over Rohtang Pass and to our first campsite in the Greater Himalayan Mountains.Manali is definitely a tourist town. There are advertisements for camping, treks, and rafting everywhere. Also it has been the first place that we have really been harassed by people trying to get us to buy things. Me, Josh, Geraint, and Anuj hiked up to see the temple Hadimb. This was a very old temple that looked somewhat Chinese. It has also been interesting that there has been a gradual but obvious change in how people look. Asian features have begun to predominate over the darker skin and Indian facial features.
After dinner at the hotel a group of us went out to a local pub and had a beer. The popular beer here is Kingfisher, like the bird. It tastes kind of like a Heineken. I will have more time to explore Manali on the way back through. That's all for now!

Corpse Beer, yum. Should be a real brand builder for Kingfisher. Don't think you've figured out calling but we can try live online chat sometime. Just send us email.
To call United States , you have to dial: 00 + 1 + City Area Code + Number you wish to call.
Here's info I found online for calling from India to US. To call using a Prepaid Phone Card, follow the dialing instructions below:
Dial the Access Number
Enter your PIN Number
Enter the number you wish to dial:
Country exit code (00 or 011) + 1 + Area Code + Number you wish to call
Ex: For calling New York from the UK: Dial 00 + 1 + 212 + phone number
Damon I would love to see more pictures and I'm sure everyone else would too.... :)
