For a lot of travelers in India, New Delhi is the capital of everything that they need to get away from as quickly as possible. Nevertheless, the town has some wonderful secrets that I would like to share with you.

New Delhi's hidden corners

In the local dialect, "Apani Dhani" means "Our Hamlet", an affectionate name given to the place by Ramesh C. Jangid, founder of the ecolodge and a pioneer of a form of militant tourism in India, especially in Rajasthan and his own native region of Nawalgarh.

Delhi is a huge melting pot, divided into two towns - the historic Old Delhi and the actual capital city, New Delhi.

A country with the size of a continent, India fascinates and will always leave you wanting more. From the intensity of the tropical beaches to the salty lakes of the Himalayas, via the ice deserts of Ladakh or temples of the Maharadjahs of Rajastan, the list of majestic places could go on eternally. Travelling in India is a concentration of unique experiences, whether through its incomparable landscapes, its vibrant cities or unexpected encounters. And there is also the beauty of life, with its exceptional tones and colours. The omnipresent music, from the bells on the women’s feet to the litanies escaping from the temples; the sparkling colours of the saris and bright colours of the turbans. An unequalled energy, bright and frank glances, coupled with hearty and generous smiles. Would you like to travel to India, off the beaten tracks, where you long to find calm and pleasure?

Rumtse is not really somewhere to stay at but rather a place to stop for a quick break. The scenery all around it, however, is quite magnificent. On the way to Manali from Leh I didn't see a single other village for more than 250 kilometres. All you encounter is tents in the middle of the mountains where you can get tea (and often you don't even see these, just mountains … it's fantastic!).
I was half asleep when I visited Rumtse because the jeep had departed from Leh at 1:00 am. Rumtse is located just in front of Taglang La, which at 5,328 metres is the second highest mountain pass in the world navigable by car. Shutting one's eyes from that point on is absolutely out of the question, such is the beauty of the place.
After Rumtse the roads become very tortuous. Along the section between Lachulung La (5,059 m) and Baralacha La (4,890 m), it looks as if the world's most atypical mountains have all come together in the same place. After that, you begin gradually to descend and the landscape becomes green and verdant all the way to Keylong and Manali.
