The breakfast stop as we started to climb into the first Himalaya range - usually known as the foothills but rising to 10,000 feet in places. The plan was to have breakfast in the first town stop, but a general strike put paid to that idea. While we all thought this place, which served up omelets and toast, was absolutely fine, Sher told us it could not be a regular stop-off as it didn't have proper "facilities". The green and white People Carriers were now our transport  till Rishikesh.
