Phil's Mondo India Slide Show
Views of the Ganges in Rishikesh

The Ganges river is a destinaton for both sacred and secular activities. Amost everyone has heard of bathing in the Ganges, but not many know its a major destination for white water rafting!

Here we have some young men bathing in the Ganges in mid morning amidst the painted advertisements. The water is muddy from turbulence and past rains, but fairly clean.



Here a view of a white water rafting boat passing underneath Lakshmanjhula, with the Himalayan foothills in the background. Rumor had it that Kate Winslett was there a few month prior on a white water rafting trip - not every day you get a big star in these neck of the woods.
