Hotel Ganga Azure Haridwar

... 1000 rupees plus another 200 in a small private temple later. I imagine western tourists are good payers as we saw the priest having a chinwag on his I-phone a little later on. The ceremony is fairly short but spectacular with fire brandishing priests and a sort of audience chant participation which Issy thought was a great Mexican wave. The river was alight by all the floating candles as many other pilgrims also made their wishes to Ganga.

... to get some breakfast at the hotel restaurant (Hotel Surya). I had some muesli (I have been going through this muesli phase lately) with honey and fruit and some toast that wasn't very good. I ate one piece and then decided I would save the other two for the first cow I met that day. I set off again after breakfast and crossed the Laxman Jhulla (bridge) to check out the action on the other side. I stopped at a few places to check on river rafting prices. I was sort of ...

... by a priest. The atmosphere was noisy and excited (I was told twice, by two separate priests, not to look so worried) but it was also joyful, and respectful. As the man who runs the Ashram reminded us last night, this is a very religious country. In Haridwar that religion surfaces, and among the crowds, the merchants, the beggars, the rickshaws and the monkeys there is something unquestionably holy about Haridwar. Something I will have to come back to see again.

It was cool though and a very self absorbed way of living. meditate in the morning and then do two yoga classes and a hindu philosophy class each day. The aim is to become less self absorbed but for the short time I was there it seemed to me ...

As our grand plans of going to Darjeeling fell through (due to lack of time and not being able to get a place on the train) we opted to follow the Aussies to their next destination - Rishikesh - most notably famous for being situated where the holy Ganges river originates, in addition to being the place where The Beatles wrote their White Album during their stay in an ashram, where they hung out with the Maharaja eating vegetarian food, meditating and doing yoga ...

... doing something, walking up and down the streets in big streams... I havent quite found out yet, what they are all doing... especially women who usually dont work. Tomorrow we'll leave Haridwar early and head up North into the Himalaya mountains... trekking for 4-5 days is the plan. Awesome!! Cant wait to see the mountains covered with snow and all the historic temples... popular pilgrim destinations.

... Sandwiched between forested hills and the Ganges (closer to the source and free of the filth of Varanasi), the town is literally covered with painted signs offering yoga, massage, palmistry; a group of well-intentioned foreigners remove litter from the hillside beneath the cafe as Indians stare in disbelief, but (fortunately) throw no more.
