Kasar Devi. Where Bob Dylan, Cat Stephens, Allen Ginsberg came to be. One of the best rooms with a view I’ve ever had 🥰🙏
EIGHT YEARS / TEN DAYS: SUNDAY 10 DECEMBER 2023
Enough was enough. Got myself out of bed and walked 9 ks up to see 180 degrees of Himalayas. A great journey with my guide, Santosh. Back down the 9ks and then packed my bags and moved to Kasar Devi, a place of resounding beauty visited by Bob Dylan, Allen Ginsberg, Cat Stevens etc back in the day. So happy to be feeling positive again and to laugh. Not 100% well but mentally back and inspired by life again.

Leaving Delhi. Despite feeling weak my desire to leave Delhi was strong. Up at 4.45am, tuktuk at 5.15 and train from New Delhi Railway Station to Kathgodam. It was to take 5 hours but it took over 7….A wise decision to take a taxi on the hair bin bended road up to Almora allowed this recouperating woman to sit back. We arrived to rain and cold, had veg noodle soup and went to bed. Hooray for leaving Delhi far far behind.

Yellapur via Ankola bus station to Gokarna. Checked all the places to stay on Om Beach but wasn’t impressed so moved to Kudle Beach and trekked all along checking all the places again. Felt like training. Found a basic room but with a balcony with a view. Very sweaty by the end but satisfied.
