The Haveli Hari Ganga Haridwar

... to the hotel and recovered from the heat of the day while reading one of my new books.<br>Fell asleep for a bit before Nitin came to collect us and take us to his house for Diwal celebrations.<br>Met his parents, 2 sons and his wife very briefly as she was in the kitchen the whole time. The way they celebrate Diwali is very much like we do at home. When I arrived They were lighting diva's followed by arti. This then lead onto fireworks and I couldn't believe ...

Efter 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 koebt vores svinsk billige billetter paa det saerlige Tourist Ticket Office, som en hel stribe af indiske lurendrejere med stor entusiasme ...

... so decided to make my way to a beach just out of town. The sand was as white and fine as any I've seen on any tropical isle, and the sun was hot enough to make walking on said sand a tricky proposition. I found myself a nice spot by some rocks and wiled away many hours watching the world go by and impressing the babes with my manly pecs (maybe). The beach seemed to attract a bit of a ...

... to attempt in India as a woman traveling alone. While Kel was still around (he has since gone home) we hiked up a mountain to see the waterfalls of the Ganges which were amazing. Rishikesh doesn't have a great market, but I still managed to do some shopping and now have a very full pack to carry around for the next few weeks. :) I hope you are all well!

... their hair and their skin, but i had no luck. my face was the brightest pink you can imagin!!!! (and it was still a couple of days later.. im fine now though!) it was lush bathing there though as it was such a special experience... even if the two Indians who came with us wanted to take us around the city and then out in the evening... one note to the girls though... if you do ever celebrate Holi fest in India... dress like a man!!!

... up the Ganga (Ganges) river and are going to kyack all the way down to Rishikesh, going through 6 or so sets of rapids along the way. I am having big problems just getting the ******* to go in a straight line without spinning off all over the place, in typical fashion, as I cannot master it instantly, I am getting frustrated. 1st set of rapids. Goes like a dream, feeling good and am 1 step up the pusiutilists ladder of outdoor achievement. At this point Dan suddenly ...

... The trek started out pretty casually...just us and our fellow hotel guests strolling along, chatting and enjoying the cool mountain breeze. But then it took a terrible, horrible turn as we went off road...and damn near straight up. Turns out this is truly a hike...not a stroll. And we were all soon huffing and puffing straight up a hill...and just when we crested that hill...another hill would be in front of us to conquer. On the way we passed some small ...

... After about an hour or more walking around, exploring, and looking we found out that both the yoga studio and ceremony were in the same place. We took a boat across the Ganga to where the ceremony was. It was amazing. It was probably my favorite night since being here. There was a good tabla player and a harmonium player leading the songs. Everyone was chanting and there was a trance energy in the air. I meditated for a while and enjoyed the ...
