Tuesday, June 5, 2007: High Altitude Himalayas

I leave for Ladakh (Little Tibet) and the Himalayas in about an hour and a half by plane. Its 3:30 am right now in Delhi. Plane takes off at 5 am. Not sure why they felt the need to schedule it so goddamn early. Well, one thing is for sure, when I get there I'll not only be suffering from Acute Mountain Sickness from the sudden 12,000 foot increase in altitude (decrease in oxygen levels) but i'll be tired as well. Can't wait! Anything is better than Delhi Belly though. I'll be resting for the first 24 hours in Ladakh while I acclimitatize then spend day 2 walking around a bit. We'll see. Gotta run though.
