Dude...!! Dont give links from your hard drive locations....!! either use the attachment option or upload them to an online album like photobucket, imageshack, etc.

anupmathur · 13-09-08, 02:05 PM

Hey, reply2ab, none of your pics is visible!

Please upload them again.

Yogesh Sarkar · 13-09-08, 02:10 PM

You can upload the photographs at BCMTouring itself through the attachment system, here is a FAQ on how to use it, Now upload photos/attachments on bcmtouring!

anupmathur · 13-09-08, 04:58 PM

Wow, reply2ab, those are excellent pics!
You did the full circuit, leaving nothing out! Very impressive!

Would love to read a small travelogue, particularly about the sixth day! Losar to Delhi, VIA Chandrataal, in one day?!!

And I'm sure you have many more photos still tucked away. Do post some more. Specially Recong Peo & Kalpa.
