Pushkar

oI met a couple of girls from Australia and joined them in a car to Pushkar where they have the famous camel fair. I stayed at dream heaven (out of my budget $18
for 2 nights. Here are some pics. Roses
all over the hotel with a great smell.
Marble floors and great service. They had good veggie menu. move across for half the price. Shiva dropped a lotus flower and it became a lake. people families towns villages come in their native clothes and really fun to watch. Never a dull minute in this town.
met a great girl from Gurirut and her mother and another Spanish single traveler went went on a adventure on the
country to see a holyman.
great place!








jaipur

Jaipur was too built up with motor rickshaws to get around. In one day I
saw a elephant,camel, yak, cows, sheep,
monkeys,pig, goat just driving around the pink city. My hotel was great beautiful
marble lawn peacocks good food.
nothing to buy



train to Jaipur

We went to the train station and got a ac sleeper

Closing the gates to Paskistan

I guess you can not leave without going
to see the closing of the gates to Pakistan. running with the flag marching
Bollywood dancing in the hot sun
I did it!


Amritser the sikk temple


 oWe decided to travel by car and later
decided to go all the way to Amristar as it was so comfortable.
arriving in the afternoon, all the hotels were on strike but we found a place a little expensive 
For one night it was fine and the next day
we moved right next door to the temple.
I put on the scarf and took off my shoes and had the experience
i think you will see from the pictures how wonderful it is.
the temple serves 200,000 plates of food for free a day. we went up to eat a great
meal in a orderly fashion eating on the floor with our hands.
the pictures at the end are the women
doing prep work for the meals all volunteer
golden temple



mc cloud ganj

I stayed at the Om hotel where I watched the clouds cover the mountains and then left off to a breathtaking view. I liked my room with bath $10 a night a monkey came by and a cat. It had good food in the restaurant famous for its pizza
I met a Italian girl there and we went to
Amritser the sikk temple.


karmapa

Went to see the Karmapa at his monestary outside of town. He was gone
so I waited a week then I went back and he was due today and said I should stay
thanks to Kempo Lershen I was put into the receiving line. A great experience.
