Tantric dancing

Yesterday I videoed tantric dances performed as part of the Ladakh Festival. Very colourful and great setting. As well as the dance, it gave me a chance to see the ethnic makeup of Leh.

Yesterday and today I breakfasted at a Tibetan kitchen and the woman who runs it, a Tibetan refugee, told me she hadn't been in Tibet for 50 years. She originally came from West Tibet, near Mount Kailash. When I told her I'd been in Lhasa last year, she warmed up to me. I've promised to send her a copy of "Himalayan Dreams".
