Traveling in slow internet bandwidth areas I take pride in calling myself an early adopter of technology and have been a power user of Internet for almost two decades.  At my home and office, I use a 100 Mbps dedicated leased line and a 4G connection on my mobile phone.  I think I left patience in last century somewhere and decided never to wait for my videos and images.

September 2016 Calendar Desktop Wallpaper - Dhankar Lake Spiti

Download September 2016 Desktop Calendar Wallpaper Dear wonderful readers, for the month of September 2016 calendar let me present you the emerald waters of Dhankar Lake in Spiti. Earlier in the year, I have shared an image of Chandratal Lake in Spiti, that now has camping facilities and you can take a vehicle almost up to a kilometer to the lake. The good thing about the smaller but equally alluring Dhankar Lake is that hardly anybody treks to it though it is only about 2 hours climb  from Dhankar Monastery in Spiti.  The path is not very walk friendly [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]
