Like all the other pilgrims I pause and remember of my trip.<br \/>  The next morning I had to make a decision that I will not continue with Pascal and Alex. The reasons are that it goes too fast to me and I could not prepare me for India. Next, the route selection is better when I first go to Delhi. I can also try to get tires. Unfortunately I have to leave the colleges and Alex has it made &#8203;&#8203;me still feel bad that I will not get tires in India.<br \/>  As I drive north, I feel after the prison &#8216;Pakistan&#8217; finally free again. Also a great feeling when I see the Himalayas for the first time. A wall which rises 4000 meters and the tips are dressed in white snow. I ride in the mountain town McLeon Ganj, where is the exile home of the Dalai Lama. In the evening I go to his temple and keep it short pause to reflect on my journey. To pray for a successful trip I turn prayer wheels at all and I feel that it is a very special moment for me. After 6 &#xBD; months on the road, I arrived now on my journey.\n\n **********************\n\n Am Ruhetag besuche ich den goldenen Tempel, der das h&#xF6;chste Heiligtum der Sikhs repr&#xE4;sentiert. Wie alle anderen Pilger halte ich inne und gedenke an meine Reise.\n\n Am n&#xE4;chsten Morgen musste ich eine Entscheidung treffen, dass ich nicht mit Pascal und Alex weiterfahren werde. Die Gr&#xFC;nde liegen darin, dass es mir zu schnell geht und ich mich noch nicht auf Indien vorbereiten konnte. Weiter ist die Routenwahl besser, wenn ich zuerst nach Delhi fahre. Da kann ich auch versuchen Reifen zu bekommen. Leider muss ich so die Kumpels verlassen und Alex hat mir daf&#xFC;r noch ein schlechtes Gewissen gemacht, dass ich keine Reifen in Indien bekommen werde. \n\n Als ich Richtung Norden fahre, f&#xFC;hle ich mich nach dem Gef&#xE4;ngnis &#8218;Pakistan&#8216; endlich wieder frei. Auch ein tolles Gef&#xFC;hl, als ich erstmals den Himalaya sehe. Eine Wand die 4000 Meter emporsteigt und die Spitzen in weissem Schnee gekleidet sind. Ich fahre in die Bergstadt McLeon Ganj, wo das Exil Home des Dalai Lama ist. Gegen Abend besuche ich seinen Tempel und halte kurz inne um meine Reise zu reflektieren. Zum Gebet f&#xFC;r eine erfolgreiche Reise drehe ich an allen Gebetsm&#xFC;hlen und f&#xFC;hle dass es f&#xFC;r mich ein ganz spezieller Moment ist. Ich bin nach 6 &#xBD; Monaten unterwegs sein, auf meiner Reise endlich angekommen.\n<br \/>\n<!-- ENTRY BODY ENDS -->\n<br \/>\n\n]]><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Living Himalayas \/ Der Hauch des HimalayaMcLeod Ganj, India McLeod Ganj, India 19.11.2013 McLeod Ganj, Indien Km: 37807 The Living Himalayas \/ Der Hauch des Himalaya On the rest day I visit the Golden Temple, which represents the holiest of Sikh.
