Hotel Bharatpur Ashok

... d'haver avistat un tigre a Ranthambore, doncs decideixo visitar-lo. La visita resulta ser una mica deslluida ja que la zona sofreix de fa temps una sequera persistent i la majoria de basses estan seques i el resultat, en quant a avistament d'aus, es bastant desangelat. Vec algun xacal i guineu, pero ni rastre de les famoses pitons. De totes maneres, tampoc em fa molta il.lusio passejar-me sol pel ...

... S.O.S. helps them develop and learn new skills such as driving, weaving, welding, recycling, and retail store management. The organization also helps fund shool programs for the Kalandar children and health programs for he community at large. By not narrowly focusing only on rescuing the bears, their preventative actions have reduced the number of dancing bears to under 100 currently. The amazing thing is ...

... at one of the hotels mentioned in the Lonely Planet just opposite of the bus station. I think the room was not cleaned since the author visited it in 2006. It was extremely filthy but we had not much option and were dead tired. We just crushed on bed with all clothes and jackets, did not unpack anything and closed our eyes until 7am when we just got up and carried our bags out again.

... became small ponds and then big lakes, where painted storks, grey herons and cormorants were wheeling around or perched in the trees. The bright pink colours on the storks were quite striking. Kingfishers waited on tree branches, an Indian (black and white) robin searched through the undergrowth, white storks, brown shrike, white ibis, black headed ibis, egrets, jungle babbler, coots, moorhens, rose-ringed parakeets and a nightjar and probably more ...

... very beautiful and was a good stop over on the trip between Agra and Jaipur. Unfortunately we went there when it was raining, so it kind of dampened the experience. Also, the place is intensely overrun by people trying to sell you things. It is impossible to walk two steps without being haggled, and after an hour it gets very tiring. It was also frustrating after having just gotten off the bus for four hours and having no peace. The hired guide ...

... over to find them! Once we were all together again we hopped on the bus and made the 4 hour trip to Bharaptur. I saw heaps of the little mini sack trucks along the way an and finally managed to get a pic... We stopped at a small rest house and saw the cheekiest monkey scabbing things out of the bin. We played ball here -- throwing it to each other to fill in time before hopping back on the bus -- all of us feeling a bit puffed.. We ...

We leave Agra this morning and jump into 2 jeeps heading for Fatehpur Sikri a 16th Century fortified ghost city with palaces and pavilions. We are shown around the deserted city by a young guide who's english is very good. There are beautiful palaces within the fort and wonderfull views over the Indian Countryside. I could see myself living in one of these palaces!!

... raices. Aquel que espera una hora puede esperar una eternidad". Y que tal que nuestra Virgen Maria, en todas sus representaciones, viste un traje que es -en mi humilde opinion- parecidisimo a un sari o vestido del medio oriente? Por ultimo, mis amigo(a)s y familiares que devoran libros deben haber leido ya al internacionalmente famoso Sri Sri Ravi Shankar que escribe y da clases y conferencias alrededor del mundo y hasta colabora con la ONU (apuesto a que Rosita y ...

... das Lassi kuehl und fruchtig ist, die Affen ueber die Haeuser klettern und sogar der Smog sich verwandelt in ein volles, rotes Abendlicht. Wenn man erahnen kann, was die Qualitaeten dieses Landes sind, auf welchem Fundament es gebaut ist. Aber zwischen diesen Inseln der Schoenheit und der Kultur liegt ein Meer der Guelle, der Armut und des Drecks." Das mag jetzt vielleicht ein bisschen hart klingen ist aber eigentlich so. Oder sagen wir so, bis jetzt hat ...
