I don't really get it...
The Ganges is supposed to be holy, and very spiritual place for hindu's, yet they treat it like a garbage dump, were we are is right up at the top of the river, so not all that polluted, yet you can see on the down stream side of Riskikesh, it is getting pretty scudsy -everyone washes, dumps garbage, toilets, buries their dead in it - I can;t even image what it is like once it leaves the main cities.
We went rafting today up to the mouth of the Ganga, at a little town called Devprayagh. it is the confluence of the Aleknanda and Bhagarati rivers. The rafting trip was excellent, a great team of guides came with us, and Steph and Stefan, an English girl and guy who are also working there. I think they are glad of our company. They work for Feelfree rafting in Austria in the european summer, and were blown away when they found out that we were their when Feelfree started- so we had a lot of stories of share.
Anyway a great rafting adventure, tomorrow is our last day here, them we head out for the Corbett Tiger Reserve, we'll miss it here!
