How much weight can a pushbike take?
This is a top pick! ... is time to pack our bags from Delhi and head to pastures new. A chance to relax and unwind and find a more relaxed India. Today we depart for Haridwar, and the Kumbh Mela. A Hindu festival that happens in this form once every twelve years. The day after ...
The Kumbh Mela
This is a top pick! ... and tee total. Yes just to recap we are non drinking vegetarians, no seriously we are! Or we have been for 4 days now. Haridwar is a permanently dry city due to its holy nature and the lack of 'restaurants' and bars / off licenses ...
First Class Travel - A luxurious lifestyle?
This is a top pick! ... we packed and prepared to begrudgingly give up our luxury (by current standards), we even had a shower with a head! (The showers in India in our budget range have comprised a cold tap, a big bucket and a measuring jug for pouring over yourself). Had lunch ...
Oh, ah Haridwar
This is a top pick! 
Head to the mountains
... headed straight across the train line...which we thought was crazy when we first arrived. The norm now. Walking into Haridwar, which is pretty far north within India and getting close to Nepal, we picked up the smell of Hashish(!) a few times. We'd heard ...
Isn't it romantic?
This evening we decided to venture over to the ghats to try to unobtrusively observe the candle ceremony that takes place each evening as the sun goes down. Hordes of families had gathered at the river's edge to pray and send their offerings down the ...
Day 19 - Haridwar
Had Raj take me to Swami Ramdevji's Patanjali Yogpeeth centre which is just outside Haridwar. It's an impressive site with ell maintained garden areas and a modern suite of buildings. On entering the main building it feels very much like a hospital and in ...
Serendipity
... famous by The Beatles, or to McLeod Ganj to see with my own eyes the site of the Tibetan government in exile. But first to Haridwar... After four hours on the train (not such a big deal since for some reason I seem to love Indian trains--???), and a ...
Kumbh Mela
When we first arrived at Haridwar it was sweltering heat after a really long train Journey on the Shatabadi Express and because of the Kumbh Mela it was mega busy and mega expensive to get a rickshaw. We started walking as you can usually get a much ...
Haridwar-- First Glimpse of the Ganges
Hello everyone! We just got done spending two days in Hardwar, a city which has been central to Hinduism for thousands of years. This fact really set the tone of our experience here-- most of the people that come here are on a pilgrammage and the city ...
First glimpse of the Ganges

Purify the Colors, Purify My Mind
... of year. (M: Actually, word on the street is that it's 8 degrees Celcius warmer than usual - gotta love global warming!) Haridwar is a small city with a big rep, especially at this time of year, when folks from all over are making their pilgrimages ...
A few pics from my trip!
Since I've had a difficult time finding a computer that isn't super slow I've had to wait till now to post some pics and vids, sorry for the delay! I have a lot more pictures but have had a difficult time trying to upload them, hopefuly in a few ...
Holy Ganges
Hardiwar is our next destination, chosen because it's located on the sacred river Ganges. We are really going to use it for the night a jumping off spot to Rishiskesh, but are excited to catch our first glimpse of this mighty and holy ...
Look, here's a footprint!- Haridwar
... Sikh religion and one of the places we've had on our itinerary from the very beginning of our plan to come to India. But first we will catch our train in Haridwar. It is a night train so we had time to witness the evening bathing in the Ganges, at Hark-i- ...
Spiritual Stay
... was so civilised, they even brought many cups of chai and quite a tasty snack. And it didn't smell. Our stay in Haridwar commenced with some trepidation as we'd booked into the Mohyal Ashram. An ashram is essentially a commune with a guru who advises ...
Pindari Glacier Trek, Himalayas
... to India in the first place. Some people come to India on a spiritual quest, some because they are intrepid travelers and India is the final frontier for traveling with intrepid-ness. We came because of the mountains. Hiking, or trekking, which is ...
Guests...not tourists
We are actually in Khotdwar, in the state of Uttaranchal, but the map pin above is close enough. We are beginning to feel like family here. We've been guided around by a friend of the Rawat family for the last two days. We are staying with Dr's H.S. ...
Delhi to Haridwar
... in the bustle of the small town life of Haridwar. We had a large, whitewashed room with Spartan facilities, I mean really spartan. Haridwar was a small busy rugged town by the river. Nature was bountiful and kind. That was more than we could have ...
Yush's mundan
... taxi ride (feeling a bit spoilt) but it's the easiest way to get to our next accomodation. Arrived in Haridwar with enough time to catch most of the India vs. Australia World cup quarter-final. We stopped off at the Ramdev (a very famous Yoga teacher) ...
Rishikesh
... view we had a wander down into the town through the small streets and over the narrow pedestrians' only bridge – which in India means only people/carts/motorbikes (oh the cows of course!). Over the other side of the bridge we found that Rishikesh ...

The Magical Mystery Tour: part 1

Day 7 - Haridwar briefly
