While I am looking for my lost Alaska posts and writing about the second day, I just wanted to quickly pop back here and say that based on my wonderful trip to see my parents in the Himalayan foothills – I have here a real nice package for you. I bought a domain for my mom/dad as a gift and have been helping them put together this website. They are close to retirement and being still very much young at heart, have started a Bed & Breakfast and have put together custom travel packages for white water rafting, hiking, parasailing, in Shivpuri/Rishikesh/Mussorie, as well as Ashram visits and Maha Arti visits to Haridwar/Rishikesh/Mussoorie. You will love the packages they have here plus you have the option of customizing your trip. I know they will love their time with their guests – they are fun people, and very well traveled in India, so if you want, you could gets great tips to travel in other parts of India.
I will be promoting their site on and off, coz I love them 🙂 so bear with me. While you are at their website, also check out the Album. Some nice photos there. Also check out the Activities page – if you are interested in Yoga Classes, meditation classes, that’s the page to check as it will have announcements there. The website also has maps you can play with 🙂
So here goes:

Its “Travel With Sharmas” coz their last name is Sharma 🙂
I have some pictures this time. Everything in India is very colorful, loud and festive – weddings, national holidays, religious holidays, vacations, birthday parties, etc. Places of spiritual importance are no exceptions. So, sacred Haridwar, since its an important religious site, will not be, quiet and solem, as most people might imagine. No, it is colorful, loud, and festive – true to the Indian spirit. While the wait for the Maha Arti is on, people are busy buying colorful toys, diyas, temple offerings, eating vendor food, talking loudly, laughing, haggling ! Not to mention the loudspeakers that keep announcing lost children, lost umbrellas, meeting points, Arti details 🙂
