Our farewell dinner at Cala, a seaside restaurant in the Barranco neighborhood, was our last hurrah after 11 days of jam-packed learning, observing and sightseeing. Not since my days in summer camp had I spent such sustained time with a group of people I had just met. (Although we technically met in Washington, D.C. in January 2020, our original membership had changed.) Whitney and Tiffany kindly gave out playful certificates to each of us. I received Most Likely to Write the Next Lonely Planet Peru because I was always citing something I had read in my guidebook. We went back to the hotel, tired and happy, if also sad that our time was coming to an end. A few people had to leave at 3 a.m. to make it to the airport for their morning flight home. The rest of us had plans to continue our explorations of Peru. I went with a group to Cusco, where we would spend the next few days visiting Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley. We hope to continue our relationships and even floated the idea of a reunion in Florida next year. Hasta la proxima vez mi amigos.

The best time to visit Leh and Ladakh depends on your preferences and the activities you plan to undertake.
