Leaving Rishikesh

Well, in finally did it..manged to leave this place. Am on a overnight train tonight to Armistar which is near the Pakistan border and home of the Golden Temple. Have 9 days left so figure i should get back into the 'real India'..



Today went for a look into the ashram where the beetles stayed in the 60s. I had to sneak from a whole in the fence as the place is abandoned and locked up. It dozens of these amazing looking egg-shapped fully self-contained meditation domes. Very bizaare and errie place...

Anyway hiking adventure posts below and have also added some more pics from the Tapovan trip.
