Traveling India
This part of my blog is a work in progress, and a part of the general topic of Incredible India.
So far I have mostly written about general topics like the Israeli Phenomenon in India and environmental issues (Who cleans India? Point finger at Polluter).
This section is more of a classical travel diary, and I am posting the articles as I write them. Below are links to my visit to Amritsar, Punjab, and soon to come are impressions and stories from Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh, Rajasthan and Maharashtra.
Two and a half months are a good chunk of time for a trip, but not enough to “cover” India, so I am planning to return, but not before I finish writing about my first trip, so…
Keep posted. Subscribe! Way more to come.
Punjab – Sikh Capital of India
Punjab is the Sikh capital of India, but other religions are also represented. So far I’ve only visited Amritsar. Both Golden Temple and Mata Lal Devi Mandir are exquisite, each in its own way. The ceremony at the Pakistani border is a must.
Rajasthan – India’s Royal State
Rajasthan, India’s royal state earns its name justly. Incredible art, architecture, cultural treasures to be seen everywhere. A must see.
Likir, Ladakh – Looking for “Baby”, Finding a Family
I arrived at Likir, Ladakh by chance, planning to go on the “Baby” trek, and had the best experience of my India trip. Homestaying with a wonderful family, eating in the field with the farmers after the harvest, peace, tranquility, beauty.
24 Hours in Mumbai – Train, Boat, Taxi, Feet
My 24 hours in Mumbai were rich in experiences and human encounters – the train (un)expected ordeal, hotel and dining, and then the awesome Elaphanta Island caves, boat ride, climb. Even the taxi trip to the airport was illuminating.
My Bus Ride From Hell – The Road From McLoed to Manali
On my bus ride from hell from McLoed to Manali, I “only” suffered from excruciating motion sickness and almost lost my luggage. Those were the longest 10 hours of my India trip. High stamina was required.
