For anyone who doesn't know, Rishikesh is where the Holy Mother Ganga (River Ganges) descends from the Himalayas to the vast plains of India as she makes her way southeast to empty into the Bay of Bengal. I was doing research for Lisa's Himalaya film script, so took many 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.

Post your own travel photos for friends and family Pictures
