  • I finally made it to Rishikesh, I did not expect to find a place like this! I was just planning to stay 1 day or 2... but I end up staying 5 days and I could easily stay longer.
    Rishikesh is a very special place... and I really enjoyed it.
    But the next adventure in the Himalayas is going to be even more beautiful, so stay tuned for that.
    Have you been to Rishikesh? let me know down below.
    Thank you for watching,

      True. It is HORRIBLE. All of these professional beggars are either from Bangladesh or they are Rohingya muslim refugees. They are destroying India as we know it and there is nothing govt. is doing about this.
      All of them come into Hindu religious places and ruin it.

    Sab log kaise hai? Gabi 🙏🏻 hermanito 😎 I was in Rishikesh back in March 2019 originally for 4 days but as you said you felt the strong 💪🏻 Shanti and Shakti so did I. I decided to extend my stay by 6 more days. I'm going back again in 2023 or 2024 for a month. Next time you're back in Rishikesh, you should go to Shambala Cafe. It's an electric ⚡ atmosphere with live music at 6pm. I also got two awesome ayurvedic therapy sessions at Braham Yoga just north of the Ram Jhula Bridge in front of Ganga beach.

    These beggars are originally not from that place, they come from other place and remain their due to availability of free stuffs to them. Around 60-70 million+ people have visited haridwar during july and august, so if daily 100 people gives them something they make very much. PS- Don’t give any money to young or like beggars of your age, will not stop you to give to old people.

    About your reflections in Haridwar: I was walking in Dhaka and entered into a meditative state. There were people and noise all around me. Cars, rickshaws, shops, the very poor, beggars, the middle class, people buying and selling, working and not doing anything, and I started to think of Shiva very deeply, dancing creation and destruction, birth and death, joy and suffering, life and death. Somehow it was all in the hands of God. It was a powerful feeling. I'm not a Hindu, nor do I know much about the Hindu religion and its spirituality. This feeling arose spontaneously.

    Went there early 80 eges. No cappuccino or fancy pastries then.Very basic food unless u were a lakhpathi in your own Ambassador or Padmini with a skinny driver. Guesthouse was maybe 1 $ with an oilsoaked pillow for company. Rishikesh was one of the few places i felt i been in former life. Met up with with unforgetterble folks down by the river. 100% India at it best. Totally oppersite say Varanasi.

    A fact: Ganga originates from Himalayas and by the time it reaches on the plains, the water is mixed with all kind of herbs and natural himalayan ingredients.
    Gangajal (Ganga water) remains drinkable, unlike normal river sweet water, which stales when kept in bottles or containers for long periods. This is one of the reason Ganga is revered and respected like a goddess which clean one's sins.
    British officers when in India, used to carry Ganga water with them for extended travel 🙏🇮🇳

    12:42 The Himalayas are pretty sandy, probably because they used to be the bottom of the ocean millions of years ago. So even the regular soil there has a lot of white sand in it. It was pretty surreal seeing that when I visited Rishikesh. Next you should visit Gangotri - the point of origin of the Ganga river. It's further north from Rishikesh and even better when it comes to the scenery, fresh air and calmness. The Gangotri town is pretty comfy as well. Although, I wouldn't recommend riding there on a bike. It's too deep into the mountains and the roads are pretty narrow in many places. Also, visit it during the summer, since it will be closed during winter due to snowfall, since it's near a mountain peak.

    Loved your video, and I love Rishikesh. The first time I was there was back in 1987, and then several times after that. But I have to admit, that the number of tourists and people visiting is making Rishikesh and Haridwar lots more crowded than it used to be. More beggars and roaming sadhus asking for money than ever before. And Parmath Niketan is especially crowded during the evening aratis. You can always go out far enough where it gets nice and quiet, and I will always go back to visit, but I have to admit, I liked it better as it used to be years ago.

    Foreigners get a very wrong perception of India from outside through the media and it is fuelled because they have not learned about Indian History during their childhood. If you understand what India once was and it's history it will change your whole perspective and the way you see India. I would request that you also learn some Indian History like I did and research the Mauryan Empire, Gupta Empire, Chola Empire etc. And also their relations with Greece and Rome which I believe you are from.
