This morning I made a second attempt to reach McLeod Ganj -- and I made it! The walk up the hill took me about 40 minutes. I did have to very carefully navigate my way around a pack of about 10 aggressive dogs on my way. I am not sure what set the dogs off, but I was alone in the early morning. The staff at the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives says that the dogs somehow can sense strangers. Maybe it is the way I look or maybe the way I walk that the dogs detected and thought I did not belong.
The road up to McLeod Ganj overlooks a deep canyon with views of snowcapped mountains. The canyon looks like a jungle with heavy vegetation. Early in the morning the birds appear to be very active. Although I couldn't see the birds, their songs filled the morning air. Listen here:
The dogs were gone when I returned. I've seen some monkeys on my morning walks too. But no monkey trouble yet!
