The Pilibhit House, 21, Ramghat Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India, 249401
Haridwar - our favourite stop so far is a holy Hindu site on the Ganges. Due to the HORRIBLE bus ride from Chandigarh (six hours, 30+ degrees, no AC, no toilet) we decided to check in to the best hotel in town for a night to recover. It was right on the Ganges with it's own private ghat (bathing area in the Ganges where Hindus wash away their sins), massive comfy bed with clean sheets which seems to be something of a miracle in India!! We somehow got involved in the very important Ganga Aarti...

... Lige for tiden er Haridwars del af floden dog noget beskeden og toerlagt, da man har ledt floden uden om byen for bedre at kunne arbejde med forberedelserne til en ultrastor hindufestival, der loeber af staben om et par maaneder. Festivalen (hvis navn jeg har glemt) finder sted hver tredje aar og skifter mellem fire forskellige steder, saa den kommer kun til Haridwar hver tolvte aar – men naar den goer, goer man virkelig et stort nummer ud af det.
Men men men, den ...
... Earth. It was then that the ‘God of Gods’ -– Shiva put the poison in his throat – which caused tremendous heat in his body. It is to pacify this heat that gangajal (water of the Ganga) is poured over Shivlingas -- a process known as Jalabhishek.’
Highly recommend -
Take the cable car from the main road in Haridwar (nearby the bazaar) and take a ride to the hilltop temple of Mansa Devi- a wish-fulfilling goddess. It is usually ...
I was awake around 8 AM or so. The power went out at 8:30 and so I just sat in bed listening to my iPOD. Sandy texted me about breakfast and about meeting up for a dip in the Ganga river. She had run into some people she had met in Kajuraho and said that they would be meeting for breakfast soon. Her hotel was near the other bridge though and I didn't know if I felt like walking all the way over there to meet her. I decided to have breakfast at the Ganga Beach Cafe and ...
Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India athena... I shook my head and went back to looking out the window. He pushed my leg again. I turned to him again and gave him a very stern NO. The Indian women, I imagine were probably calling me all sorts of names...but I didn't care. I was not in the mood. I opened the Agatha Christie book...which I finished reading much too soon. At 12: 40 we finally arrived in Haridwar. This local girl was walking on the train tracks and saw me through the window. She immediately stuck her ...
Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India athena... is around you, and slow down. just for the day, do everything a little bit slower and with more attention to everything. especially simple everyday things like pouring yourself a glass of water, openning the door, and walking to work. pay attention to the food that you're putting in your body and the person accross from you that you're visiting with. this is such a beautiful life that we are blessed to be living. so much love.

Haridwar, India chardhamyatra... the undignified 'must stay in this pose whilst searching for appropriate bog roll', I use some leaves to clean up and end up with **** on my hands, the leaves are not pourus so just spread **** all over the aresehole, or the middle **** as it shall here on be reffered as. Try again and not much better. I have got ***** on the outside of my white shorts. At this point I start to hear calls of "Rory.....Rory", they are searching for me. I have to announce to a party of ...
Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India awfullook... we jumped on a night train to Haridwar and then caught a bus to Rishikesh, arriving as planned, the day before our month long yoga course started, having travelled over a thousand kilometers in record time. We called Bob to see where she was, thinking she might have found somewhere nice for us all to stay, but clearly my memory of her had grown fuzzy with time (it had been almost a year). Needless to say Bob was asleep when I called...in Delhi, where ...
Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India vague-abonding... hours. The instructor, I never caught his name, was a skinny little man with a high and nasal voice. We started out with some basic sun salutations and ended with headstands. The class was small, only seven people. Everyone looked like they had done a lot of yoga before, but none as intense as this class. The instructor was really into adjusting everyone and pushing them to their limits. He would say "Wait me to come" and go around the room shoving everyone's faces inches closer ...
