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?

At the final stage of our 'Royal Enfield' road trip, we found ourselves in the Nubra Valley. We couldn't go any further as there were military restrictions in place. Diskit is home to a magnificent monastery, which sits above the village and is typically Ladakhi in style.

Diskit is located at the point where the river splits in two. On the lower branch of the river, which goes up to Turktuk on the Pakistani border, is, in my opinion, more interesting than the warm water sources of Panamik.
You must drive to the top of Diskit to see the two remarkable monuments. The picturesque Gompa is located in the village of Old Diskit. Then stop for a photo with the giant 32 metre high Buddha. Almost as tall as the Christ the Redeemer in Rio! It's difficult to do better during a <a href="/india/">trip to India</a>.
From the platform, you will have a magnificent view over the entire valley. The branch of the river is dry, there is vegetation in the middle of the desert and permanent snow in the Himalayas. For mountain lovers like me, you reach new heights (you can say that again).

Diskit is one of the main stop-off points of the Nubra Valley, North of Leh. The enormous, coloured Buddha looking over the Valley.

At first, all we planned to do was photograph and draw the temple. But when we heard about the dunes it was just too tempting, as they're not a sight you see everyday. As we arrived late, and as there was less to do than in bigger towns, we decided to go to bed early and get up at dawn to enjoy the early morning light. We walked along the dunes, amazed by the perfect reflections of the mountains on little pools of water that dot the landscape. And when sunset came, it bathed the mountain peaks with grays and pinks. One of the most beautiful moments during my <a href="/india/">trip to India</a>. The enormity of the surroundings makes you feel like a tiny, little speck of dust.
