    Actually i am from mussoorie and i am the owner of mussoorie paraglyding (near mussoorie lake). I have seen a photograph of paraglyding in your photo gallery which makes me proud of yourself. Just think i am your well wisher or unknown friend.

    Hi!

    This is one of the most interesting and wonderful blogs I have ever come across with. It must have taken a lot of effort to prepare those special maps.

    Thanks

    Wow, this is a decent and well organized blog with all the travelogues as they should be; nothing compared to the lousy experience you may have at my Blogtrotter and Revivals! Now I’ve another place to land when I’ll have time to prepare some new travel…
    And thanks for your comment at Blogtrotter, where I’m now posting on the Rila Monastery!
    Have a great week!
