In reply to gordsellar. @GordSeller: I'm glad it revives good memories although perhaps not the Dhal. ha ha. Wow, it's interesting that you chose Harri Khoti as your nesting ground. I've never heard of it. What made you choose it.

I know this post was from long ago, but I wanted to thank you for bringing back memories of my stay (out at Harri Khoti, near the Dalai Lama’s sister’s estate) back in 2004. The clinic looks exactly the same, from the outside at least. (Though, funnily enough, I never got sick in Dharamsala, maybe because I was there in the winter. For me, it took a short trip to Jaipur, Fatehpur Sikri, and Agra to make me truly ill… and it was dhal that did it.)

Anyway, thanks for the short trip down memory lane.

@Wander Tooth: Thanks, glad I invoked a good response! 😉 3 months?! Yikes… you’re a champ, pro and India survivor! I’d probably want to die after the first month. So now what… care to go back again?

“If Indian toilet bowls could talk, they’d probably tell you they no longer want to be toilets” – I almost spit out my latte with that line! I just found this blog through twitter — love it so far. And I’ve so been there in India – I think I was sick for the entire three months. It was exhausting, but still amazing! Get well soon!

In reply to travelyn. @Travelyn: I got a followup checkup at a hospital in Bangkok. Wasn't fun, but worth the peace of mind!

Must be a travelers worst nightmare getting sick in India. Pretty scary. Do follow up with a thorough check up when you get back home.

In reply to Knut.

@Knut: My teacher’s training was with the Himalaya Yoga Valley & really wan’t based in McLeod Ganj (post should be coming soon). They’re only there for the TTCs, but there are a handful of other walk-in classes around town. You’ll see signs. The names are failing my memory but there’s an Iyengar school– a bit removed from MLG– Aryan, Om Yoga, etc…. Enjoy & good luck- don’t drink the water!

Tapwater could really be your worst enemy as a traveler. I had a similar experience on a long train ride, it was hell.
