I arranged to spend Saturday night with a mate from Hampi in Bangalore and make the most of the city night life.

I made my way to Deepak Uncle's place, where I spent a week with the welcoming family. I was whisked away on a scooter (when Uncle had time, in between processing Dad's order) into town. I was treated to a wonderf...

Rishikesh is packed with so many foreigners seeking spiritual enlightenment, healing, treatments and teachings. Got myself to a beginners yoga session first thing in the morning, but too cold have a bath in the Ganges at that time, then again the water in the hotel comes from the same place!
