Himalaya
Day 36: Dharamsala and McLeodganj
Bulrush fields hide the river south of Dharamsala. The Dhauladar Mountains behind are outposts of the Himalaya.

We watch all this from a side door, not 20 feet away from him, which gives onto a stage, dominated by a statue of the Buddha and stacked with piles of sweets, biscuits and fruit such as you might find in a church at Harvest Festival. When we have finished filming we're moved smartly away, as the prayers come to an end and the assembled throng rises to its feet and begins to move forward for a glimpse of the great man as he leaves, preceded, I notice, by a guard with a sub-machine gun.
