Rishikesh

Since we had a long ride to Himachal Pradesh we decided it would be nice to break it up a little and spend a few days in Rishikesh for a personal vacation. It was an amazing five days spent in the valley along the holy Ganges River. It was a different experience to be in a place with no responsibilities, but came at the perfect time since for the two weeks in Bene Ephriam we didn't have the chance to leave the house too much.

The beautiful spirit of Rishikesh and the Ganges is powerful, defiantly on my list of places to return some day. In addition to just enjoying chai, company of fellow travelers and the views from the many cafes on the river side we went for a waterfall hike, white water river rafting, watched the daily puja (prayers) and bathed in the Ganges.
