Jassa Ram Road, Shiv Murti Gali Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India
Where Rishikish caters to those pursuing their vedic studies, Haridwar is more of a pilgrimage site devoted to the Ganges itself. Every night at dusk an Aarti (a Hindu ceremony where ghee (purified butter) candles are offered to a deity) are offered to the goddess Ganga at Hari-Ki-Pairi .
We arrived at Haridwar during the mid afternoon, and our hope was to make it to the river in time to catch the ceremony. We wandered through bazaars along the river until at just about 6:30 when we made ...
... for a extortionate price, which turned out to be worth it as our dwelling took the form of a bamboo hut looking over the Ganges! A paradice in the city full of travelling pilgrims. After resting from our early start, we headed back to the centre of Haridwar (Har-Ki-Pairi) where Vishnu is said to have dropped some heavenly nectar and left a footprint behind... (sounds good eh?). The area was full of hindu pilgrims and tourists bathing in the ganges and giving their plates of burning ...

Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India ulka... They seemed like a very adventurous and open-minded couple. They said that they would be going to the Shiva temple near Ram Jhulla to watch the Aarti Ganga ceremony. I had never heard of it...but they said that it was something very beautiful and worth seeing. They said that they would be leaving around 5:45 and asked me if I wanted to join them. I said that I would. We all retired to our rooms and I had a short afternoon nap before meeting up with them. We ...

Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India ulka... had a 7 hour drive up into the high mountains! Our driver navigated the one and a half lane road with 1,000 foot drop offs while we enjoyed the scenery and held on with white knuckles. When we arrived at our campsite the tents were set up and the chai tea was waiting! We had time to climb the ridge behind us to search for the ever-elusive Snow Leopard and view a most spectacular sunset! The evenings were cold, but the campfires and Indian meals ...

Haridwar, India chardhamyatra... back from making the inevitable advances. I looked back, smiled knowingly and sympothised. Rishikesh is full of Hippies - massive ones that are so spaced out they float around town and speak in hippie tongue, undesciperable by comman tourists such as myself. In fact, there were more westerners here than anywhere ive been as yet, more visible ones anyway, but they seemed removed from me, they were all so taken up in the self acclaimed yoga/meditation capital of the world ...
Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India awfullook... put it, "it is unwise to throw pearls to the swines", not that he is suggesting you are pigs, wallowing in and consuming your own poop (although I can see similarities in a few unnamed people), but that there can be little value gained by either side from being told briefly and no doubt badly about something out of context, from an un-learned person such as myself. But you know me, never one to shy away from controversy and always one to share my ...
Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India vague-abonding... we take him up on! We played in the water, relaxed, crushed up some rocks and painted each others faces with the clay. It was the freest I've felt the entire trip and I could have stayed all afternoon, but we had a taxi to catch so we towel off, changed into dry clothes and hiked back down the hill. Our taxis were at least an hour late, but it felt good to come home to our little Dev Dar moldy, cold cloud. We watched the sun set from Oakland and it felt good to be home and back with my girls!
