1 Bypass Road Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India, 110018
We wake several times in the night to the sounds of train announcements and calls to prayer, but at around 10am we are up, dressed, and ready to explore and look for breakfast. There is no way we are eating anything else in this hotel. We head along the main road for a while and then turn off on to a side street which we hope will take us toward...
Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India hazelandmartinEfter lidt flere dage i Delhi end forventet hoppede vi paa et eftermiddagstog med retning nordpaa mod byen Haridwar. Turen tog fem timer i et slidt, indisk bumletog og tog sin begyndelse paa New Delhi Railway Station, der ligger fordelagtigt taet paa backpackerkvarteret/-helvedet Paharganj. Det var ogsaa paa togstationen, vi dagen forinden havde...
Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India trusserditteSo I had gotten my train tickets, started to get my bag packed, and was all set to head up to Rishikesh when my first real sickness in India decided to strike the night before I was supposed to leave Faridabad. In the six weeks I had been in India, I had been surprisingly healthy despite not being particularly cautious, especially when trying st...

I thought I might not write any more about Haridwar & Rishikesh as I have done it already (pls read more in my entry ‘Haridwar‘) but during the weekend I was visiting those places again there was so much happening that I decided to share a bit with you.
First interesting thing - it happens so often and I still can not ge...
This day was simply a lazy 'do nothing but read ' day. I hadn't had one of those for a while. I found the book to be quite a page turner and ploughed right through it. I had picked up 'Murder on the Orient Express' by Agatha Christie...but decided to save it for the 13 hour train ride (ouch). Packed up my things and took a shower before trying t...

10 days. 10 hours of meditation a day. no talking. two small meals a day (and tea in the evening). no physical contact (or smiling). only me, my body and my mind... words cannot explain or describe....only experience can fully describe.... where to even start....the crowded bus ride back to town after breaking the silence was surreal. the bus le...
Rishikesh, India nicwood1 second Panic. 2 seconds Bubbles. I'm thrashing about but I still cannot get my face above the surface. 3 seconds I don't really have a visual memory of the event, my eyes wouldn't help me here anyway. 4 seconds After, Nick told me that it was quite a disturbing sight, he could see the top of my head try to break the surface over and over again...

Rishikesh to Haridwar, India Nov 12, 2008
Shattered Ego
There is a great quote from Brian Thompson's Great Train Journeys of the World that goes:
"India is no place to say, 'I know exactly what I want to do' - something always intervenes and mocks that resolution. I travelled light, but still the greater...
So, so tired...up at 4AM this morning to catch a 6AM flight to Delhi then continuing on to Rishikesh. But it's fine...because we've saved the best destination for last...Rishikesh and the Ananda Spa. You can google it and read it for yourself, but Ananda has been voted as the #1 destination spa for the past three years by Conde Nast along with a...
