Shiv Murti Hotel Haridwar

... night streets. <br><br>And the rain didn't stop for the next day... when it finally let up, it was our time to leave. (not that we didn't try to go out, we did, but got more soaked than perhaps I've ever been, wading knee high though flooded streets.)<br><br>After that it was time for Rajastan; the desert land of camels, hill-top palaces, Rajput warlords, and as we would find, the annoying pressures of heavy tourist ...

... quaint man who lives in the mountains with his family... wow there were so many great moments that I got to watch through the camera. Yesterday was probably a highlight- we went up into the Himalayas and Rutherford interviewed a few unique characters. We then were convinced that hiking back to Rishikesh was our best option and so Rutherford in his flip flops, all of the camera equipment, and me covered in sweat, hiked up and then down a mountain to get back to Rishikesh. It was ...

... area) and met up with some more friends. I found a nice single room at the same hotel two of the girls were staying at. The two Asian boys (David and Sunny) got a room there as well. I took a 45 minute shower (washed my hair and the multiple layers of grime off me) and then had a most delicious 3 hour nap. I am telling you...getting out of bed after the nap was SO hard. All I wanted to do was keep sleeping. But, I managed to pull myself together and got dressed to go out ...

Musielismy pozegnac sie z nimi szybciutko i pozwolic im spokojnie skorzystac z wody. <br><br>Drugi raz, kiedy leopard przebiegl nam droge, wbiegl na gore, i stanal wpatrujac sie w nas robiacych zdjecia, gotowy do skoku...Na szczescie po ok minucie, ktora wydawala sie wiecznoscia umknal nam gdzies w ciemnosc lasu. <br>Cudowna przygoda.

... more photos than I normally would and thought I would share some of them. It will take more than 1 entry. All of the photos have a caption, but there are too many to write up a story on each of them. I am putting an asterisk by the ones I have written a story for.

So Rishikesh is my favorite part of India so far. Finally, away from the cities' pollution and noise. And the Beatles came here once upon a time as well. Unfortunately, I have a nasty cold that has prevented me from hiking around the area, which is getting close to the Himalaya. I have determined that each month in India, due to pollution levels, takes off one year off your life, which could be a plus or minus depending on the year. There's even ...

... Grade 6 is a waterfall apparently, eek!). However, an uncoordinated Al managed to topple backwards out of the boat (in the Grade 1 rapids - d'oh!) and had to be dragged back in by the four guides, much to everyone's amusement. In addition to shouting "row FORWARDS" "row BACKWARDS" at us, the guides also sometimes shouted "JUMP!!" and ordered us to body surf through some of the lesser rapids. This was really fantastic as the Ganges is perfectly clean and a ...

The Ganga River (Ganges) is a sacred river to Hindus and runs from the foothills of the Himalayas out to the Indian ocean near Calcutta...past the famous bathing ghats of Varanasi. This we both knew coming to India. What we did not realize is there are several pilgrimage sites near the source waters of the Ganges such as Haridwar, a place that religious Hindus visit in droves. After reading about the special ceremonies we could witness ...

... usually had 6 hours or so to occupy before the evening session. Before the rains really got going, I might take a walk to the waterfall with whoever happened to be around, or go to my beach to relax, though the rising water levels meant that the beach grew smaller every day. By the time I left, there was sadly no beach left, just a few rocks on which to perch. After the monsoon really made itself known, I was forced to spend my days sitting around in cafes again ...
