Hotel Paradise Haridwar

... br><br>In the evening we went down to Har-ki-Pairi temple where at dusk the ceremony of Ganga Arati takes place each day which is in devotion to the life bestowing goddess Ganga. There are literally thousands of pilgrims lining the ghats on the steps and we duly took our shoes off at the entrance only to be taken by one of the priests up to the top vantage point. He then took us down to the river and we suddenly found ourselves as part of the ...

... said that they hadn't been able to find the boat and so just walked around and watched the sun come up over the city. I apologized some more and then fell back asleep. Around 7:30 AM or so I woke up again and set out to find some breakfast. Surprisingly, there were no places open serving breakfast at that hour. I guess I was just used to breakfast being served as early as 6 AM in some places. So, I wandered around aimlessly and took some pictures before finally being ...

Brown. I produce fudge cake, rum sauce, a right mess, but it is the greatest feeling ever. Release. Joy. Now ...

... tea), I was soon anticipating the evening's aarti (prayer ceremony) down on the Ganges at 5.30p. Ravi got ourselves situated in a perfect spot to view what was one of the largest nightly gathering of pilgrims I've ever seen! It was spectacular! Not quite as participatory as the aarti in Rishikesh but still quite a display, much of which I've captured on video (with sound, of course!). There were men, women, and children bathing in the Ganges (very clean looking here ...

Our mad dash from Northern Pakistan into India to meet my sister Bob (Ella), involved a day in Islamabad to collect our passports with the new Indian visas installed, a night in Lahore, an evening watching the flag lowering ceremony at the border - which has become a huge attraction for excitable Indians on one side and Pakistanis on the other as the soldiers do their absolute best to outdo each other with a bizarre show of pomp and preposterousness ...

... my welcome I walked back to the hotel making use of the raincoat the New Zealander had given me in Manali. The next day I walked to the base of a mountain on the west side of the town and started the uphill one mile climb to the Mansa Devi Temple. There were cable cars leading to the temple but I decided to walk and take in the scenery. I bought a bag of prasad, a food offering for the goddess on the hill, and hiked up the winding road. Obliviously enjoying the ...

... have been any little healthy food restaurant in California with its bamboo interior, incense, chill music, and comfy chairs. On Sunday morning Adam and I got up early for a 7 AM yoga class in a small studio that looked out over the Ganga. Adam, Carry, and Ty had taken a yoga class the night before at a different studio and said how relaxing it was. Our class was the exact opposite of relaxing. I was dripping with sweat within the first five minutes and continued for the next ...
