The weather is back to normal in Spiti, lovely sunny days. The people are frantically busy harvesting the peas, cutting grass for winter feeding for the animals and next week, they will be gathering in the barley.
The roads are now open and things are back to normal.

I've just returned from a long and arduous trip to the Spiti Valley. The weather was extreme for this time of year and the people of the Spiti Valley are suffering badly from the rains that have destroyed roads and delayed the pea harvest - their most important cash crop. I fear for their well-being over the next couple of weeks.
