This particular tea house was commendable: the ambience was authentic, unfussily lovely, its tea & “goodies” were very palatable, and the “live” music was of a high standard – not merely “close enough, for tourists”.
Keyboards, synthetic “beats” and excessive reverb + compression were all pleasingly absent.
“Attracting tourists” was part of this tea house’s equation, but only part; very evidently, many local people liked it.
A future, multi-image post will celebrate this venue and its musicians/performers.
And so concludes this teaser series.
Eventually, various of our “triple K” trip’s key places and aspects will receive closer attention in their own multi-image posts.
(In addition to the “triple K” – Indian-controlled Kashmir, the Karakoram and Kashgar – the primary destinations were Delhi, Amritsar and Lahore)
For the next little while, however, Pelican Yoga will incline to other parts of “our” planet.
