Agra was short and sweet. we arrived in the evening and checked into a guest house which over looked the taj Mahal. managed to get there in time for the sun set, which was nice! the next day we went to see the taj and where blown away by the price 750 rp which is only about 15, but tons over here$. which is the foreigners rate the local rate is 7rp. slight differance. anyways the taj was amazing a little smaller then we all had imagined but beautiful. we then went to agra fort but didnt go in because it cost more money and the taj had already hit a weeks worth of hostels out of our pockets. lol. we left arga later that night
we where going to go by Delhi, but decided to miss it because big cities smell funny. so we got a night bus to rishikesh. the yoga capital of the world!!!
Rishikesh was everything we had hoped for!! a town wedged between 2 mountains and the ganges flowing between ether side. the place is incredible, we arrived really early in the morning after a very very bumpy trip through the mountains and checked in to a ashram. here they offered yoga in the morning and afternoon and meditation in the evening. we all took part in the yoga charlie only manged to drag him self to 1 morning session. but we enjoyed it all and can now all touch our toes!!!!
the restaurants all has international menues, but it was all veg. so we had Mexican, Italian, Chinese everything!!! and it was all really good. all the restaurants where set up overlooking the ganges and most has the lower tables with tons of cushions. we had only intended of staying here for a couple of nights but ended up staying for 7 days. we loved it! except the fact that there was no meat and alcohol was illegal, however many other thing grew freely!!!!
we found an amazing water fall about a 4 km walk north or town! ended up going there twice because the first time me and chris went charlie had gotten the delhi bellie and was sick for a day or so.. the place was gorgeous.
we all so went white water rafting, we didnt think it was going to be that intense but ended up being pretty crazy. we did the first 10 k by ourselves and the guide. then half way down we met 5 people who got on board for the rest of the trip. they were Indians all fully clothed the women wore the full on dresses it was so funny to watch them get soaked!!
but yea rishikesh was amazing amsterdam but in India, with yoga, yogis and dreads and hippies everywhere u look!
we will try and get some pictures up soon, we havent been able to hook our computer up to the internet. coming soon!!!!!!!
