To Rishikesh and Beyond!

Rafting, Hiking, Climbing and Relaxing.  What a way to spend a four-day weekend up in Himalayas. On Thursday morning we hopped an early train up to Hardiwar and then drove up to Snowleopard Adventure camp where we spent 4 days and three nights in a tent on the side of the Holy Ganga (Ganges) River.

The camp was wonderful!

The Camp

The girls found many things to do while we were at camp.  The staff was wonderful and interacted with the girls a lot.  So nice to not have "screen time" for a few days.

We went white water rafting the first three days and had a blast!

The Camp also had a climbing wall a short walk from our tents

On Saturday we went into Rishikesh to attend a Hindu Ceremony called Ganga Aarti on the banks of the Ganges.

Indian Teletubbies?

Here are a couple videos we took.  We are really not good at this:

After breakfast on our last morning we hiked to a small village with no road access.
