Rishikesh Guest Houses - Reviews and Rates

Apart from the beautiful waterfalls and amazing Apple samosas at the office restaurant I didn't like Rishikesh much. Too many tourists... Maybe if I enrolled in a yoga course it would have been better...

Wow what a lot has happened since the last entry. I had a day in Delhi so took a rickshaw after a bit of haggling to the biggest mosque. Drove through allsorts of stange sights. A man doing his washing in a puddle on the roadside! RAw meet hanging in an open stall next to apuncture repair place. Anyway at the mosque you could go up a minaret BUT...

well i'm still here in rishikesh and life is pretty good. i spent the day hiking up to a couple beautiful waterfalls with a few wonderful people that i have met here. we hiked up then spent the afternoon enjoying the shade, the water and some games of cards. i have finally accepted the fact that i am not made for such intense heat. most of you k...

Namaste (Hello!)



This is my second attempt at this entry since it was erased the first time so I hope I have the energy to write it all over again.



A few days ago at the yoga lecture, the Swami mentioned that he is going to a big wedding across the bridge in the "city". He invited anyone that is staying in the ashra...

For anyone who doesn't know, Rishikesh is where the Holy Mother Ganga (River Ganges) descends from the Himalayas to the vast plains of India as she makes her way southeast to empty into the Bay of Bengal. I was doing research for Lisa's Himalaya film script, so took many more photos than I normally would and thought I would share some of them. I...

Greetings my friends. We have escaped the ashram for the afternoon to get some caffeine sugar and internet!!! We did kirtan (chanting) last night, got ourselves to yoga class from 6 - 8:30 am and then joined in a fire puja (ceremony) this morning, so I think we've earned it. :) Chai, glorious chai, I cannot get enough. Here's a shot of our favoi...

I'm waiting at the Department of Hydrology at IIT, for a Dr. Jha. The driver on the way here was nice, and very talkative once I fell out of the seat (short stop) and woke up. He talked of how everything is a gift from God. He said he'd tell me an English joke: the world is a stage, life is a drama, man is an actor, and god is the director. Some...

Hi Folks, It seems a life time ago when i last wrote and so much has happened. The monsoon has come early in Northern India and since Nepal we have had rain and I mean torrential stair rods rain most nights around 4 ish which can last anything up to several hours. When we were in Pokhara we had a storm when i was on my way for my massage at the ...

Hello! I am just going shopping for some more hippy tat so will let hubby update you and will come back and tell you all about what i have purchased for under 10p.................. Cripes, what a couple of days! It feels like ages since we were both in Delhi. I'll start from the very beginning (I've heard it's a very good place to start). We neg...

The flight from Varanasi to Delhi took as long as a train would have with the delays, but finally we arrived and since we didnt want to be anywhere near the center of Delhi, we stayed in Majnu-Ka-Tilla, a Tibetan Refugee area in the north of the city. The guesthouses are just as nice as the ones in Cannaught Place and for a fraction of the price...
