Jen returning as she heads down to Shanti, situate to the right. The approach is from the left.
Flora power 'waves' to Jen as she continues down the steep slope and steps.
Views from height are invariably good; this one was superb.
Probably the highest point of the hike with steps thrown in for good measure.
On the ridge passing through villages, we head to the Buddha Icon in the distance. The route follows the ridge.
A view down below from the ridge.
Jen heads for dinner...it's called 'working for food'.
A youthful Buddha relaxes while Jen struggles to reach the icon.
From the temple, we notice where the locals like to enjoy a meal on a weekend outing.
When Lord Shiva travels, invariably on a cruise ship, he prefers to have a presence of himself in some form at the temple during his absence.
The price of eating food with the hands on a hike is calculated as 'egg-on-the-face', hard-boiled, of course.
An elderly woman has precedent for a pose with Lord Buddha.
Down below is a smallholding which is some 3,000 feet above the lake.
Following the ladies' performance, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir will sing a song to Shiva as they bid him a relaxing cruise. While some might sing for their supper, others are more than happy to sing for a Coke (across the way).
One of us was fortunate to spot this rare species in the bush close to sunset. It is a very attractive but rather shy creature that tends to enjoy the outdoors but prefers to sleep indoors. Go figure!
As we return to the town, the water makes a dam(n) wonderful impression.
Cheers,

The basket's purpose (or case) on the tree is as yet, unknown.
This was a tough negotiation with young Atira, a delightful and nearly independent girl of 16 months. We paid 'top dollar' (rupee) for the cabbage which she reluctantly released. Proud Mom, the proprietor, watches closely.
