Hike. Raft. Yoga.
Rishikesh is a tourist, hippie, yoga-fanaticized town, but its much cleaner, secluded and open than any city we'd seen in India so far. It was absolutely our favorite place we visited even though it's an alcohol and meat free prison. Since it's considered a holy city, those luxuries are banned. We can live without the meat for a week – no problem. But the thought of no wine had us wondering if we could possibly find wild grapes or berries to ferment. Deciding that that idea was a no-go, we did what everyone else does in Rishikesh.
Hiked. Rafted. Yogaed Yoga'd Yoged …did yoga.
