Final full day in India! Agra Fort followed by some last minute rupee spending. Last night saw us confined to the hotel as the city was taken over by an exuberant festival until 5am. Tomorrow we go to Delhi airport then the UK. @QMGS_Exped2 @qmgs1554

Morning visit to the Taj Mahal. The rain stayed off and we have brilliant views. @QMGS_Exped2 @qmgs1554 @britishmuseum

The final stage of our journey to Agra... It's probably the second worst journey I've made in my life, but we've arrived! The Taj is very close but shrouded by thunder storm. Tomorrow we get close up! A few extras planned with money saved and contributed by parents. @QMGS_Exped2

Off to Delhi from Manali. All team 1 safe and well. We saw @QMGS_Exped2 yesterday and all safe and well.

[QMGS_Exped1 @QMGS_Exped1]

Arrived in Manali. It took two days over specular mountain passes and an overnight camping trip but we have arrived. @QMGS_Exped2

[QMGS_Exped1 @QMGS_Exped1]

Early start for a 4x4 trip to Manali. We're gonna miss our mountain home at Goji Villa. @QMGS_Exped2

Group trip to Shanti Stupa just above Leh. Some of the boys have requested monochrome photos 🤔. Very arty! @QMGS_Exped2

[QMGS_Exped1 @QMGS_Exped1]

At Hemis monastery

[QMGS_Exped1 @QMGS_Exped1]

The teams are both in Leh @QMGS_Exped2 and going in the same general direction. Leh rest days then rafting on the Indus. A two day 4x4 trip to Manali for two nights. Delhi then onto Agra and the Taj Mahal.
