India 2017, Day 11: Haridwar

Haridwar

I was only supposed to pass through Haridwar, but India had other plans for me.  Although I was disappointed I didn’t get to see the Golden Temple in Amritsar or the fun border ceremony at the [Read more…]

India 2017 Food Diary, Day 10, Part 2

Having wrapped up my sightseeing in Rishikesh, it was time for a snack at the fabulous Ganga Kinare hotel before heading to my next destination.  (Of course, I never made it to my next destination.)  A slice of apple pie sounded really good, but they were out.  A brownie with ice cream was a more than reasonable substitute.

I skipped breakfast in the morning because I got a late start to the day and I needed to make up lost time after my delayed arrival in Rishikesh on Day 9.

It took me a while to find my lunch spot, and I was thrilled to finally arrive at The 60s Cafe, also known as Beatles Cafe.  Rishikesh is where the Beatles came in 1968 to get all spiritual.  This fun restaurant pays tribute to their visit and the spirit of the 60s.  It has beautiful views of the Ganges too.

India 2017, Day 10: Rishikesh, Day 2: Part 1

Gateway to the Himalayas

When I woke up on Day 10 in my room at the fabulous Ganga Kinare, all of the inconvenience of Day 9 was far behind me.  Day 10 turned out to be just what it was supposed to be–a spectacular day along the [Read more…]
