Rishikesh

Rishikesh is officially my favourite part of India right now. Myself, along two other travelers; one from Toronto, and one from Karlsruhe (who now lives in Berlin- funny eh!) hiked around 10 k today in total to a beautiful waterfall. The hike was wonderful among the foot hills of the Himalayas next to the River Ganges. Around the waterfall there were little pools of water, very clean and nice, so I dipped my feet into them. It was really nice to meet these other two people, it was a nice hike, with nice conversation. Tomorrow we are going to go on a 26 km White Water Rafting trip down the Ganges... should be fun! After that we are going to try some bartering in the shops, and than the next day I am leaving for Jalandhar.

Rishikesh has made me like India again.. :-)

Hope all is well at home

Love Krista

  3. Hi Krista, glad things are going better. Nice to have a relaxing time before you start your internship. I bet the White water rafting will be a gas, I did that years ago and it was great. Stay safe,

    Love Mum xox
