Looks to be a beautiful area. I think your fire was seen from the space station though
Mighty big blade too!

yeah the fire was awesome we had about 40 people who lived in various caves and tents who would come down for the food circle in the evening so the fire had to be big, this ex marine turned yoga teacher called dave got us all to roll this huge dead tree down the hill into the camp and he just set that on fire and moved it bit by bit into the fire lated 4 days!

Reminds me of my days staying in a village just outside Manali about 15 years ago, think the village was called Vashist. In fact is was that trip which turned me on to the mountains, I now live in the alps

Great pictures , that tree climbing, man that looks high .

 

[FelixAvery]

yeah salad i know vashist! ive been there 5 times i love that place even now 15 years ago it must have been really amazing i always stay at the same place but i dont think it would have been there when you went but surely you would remember mango baba and his mango guesthouse he came with us to the rainbow gathering which was really funny because the indians thought we were all holy men because we were dressed/acting so weird and with him haha, i really want to learn how to make fire by friction because part of the idea of theese gathering is to teach others your skills and i think people would get a kick out of learning how to make fire!
