Rajaji National Park and Haridwar
D16: Rajaji and Haridwar 12/4/2019 In the city of Rishikesh for a few hours, we enjoy a last one-hour yoga session for 4 euros / 300r. The bridge over the Ganges is still congested.

Rishikesh, yoga, tourism and arti
D15: Rishikesh 11/4/2019 After 3 days of calm and cool in Mussoorie, the journey to Rishikesh with the transfer to Dehra Dun has got us a little tired. Nevertheless, I manage to get out of bed for the 7.30am yoga session on the roof of the Blue Jay Hostel. Rishikesh is the yoga capital of…
Mussoorie, Benog and collective taxi
D14: Mussoorie 10/4/2019 It’s our last day at the cool altitude in Mussoorie. We hesitated a little to leave in the morning for Rishikesh but the picturesque (semi) pedestrian street with its shops, the views of the nearby snow-capped peaks and the general coolness held us back. Mussoorie is located on a “peak” and we…

Agra, marble, feathers and mosaics
J11: Agra 7/4/2019 It’s not only always the same chaos when we arrive at an Indian bus station. De dust, horns, pollution, dirt and 3 drivers of tuktuk that assault us with crazy prices when we’re barely get off the bus. Prices end up going down in a hustle and bustle that becomes familiar. Agra…
Fatehpur Sikri, bus, red stones and mosque
D10: Fatehpur Sikri 6/4/2019 The plan is simple, we walk to the fast lane, we catch a bus and we ask to get off near the town of Fatehpur Sikri. After a beautiful, quiet nature day in Bharatpur Nature Park, it’s time to join the ancient capital Fatehpur Sikri, created by Akbar. A nice stop…
Bharatpur, bicycle, twin and volatile
D9: Bharatpur 5/4/2019 It was dark when the train from Jaipur stopped in Bharatpur. This “express” train will have taken an hour longer than expected. The usual battle between tuk tuk driver begins. Bharatpur is a city between Jaipur and Agra that has the distinction of being close to the Keoladeo National Park (listed AS…
