Back in Haridwar

19.09.2009

Again we were heading back to Haridwar… again just for one night until we caught our train to Agra. We woke up relatively early to leave from Rishikesh and found transport via a jeep until Swarg Ashram. The rest of the way had to be done on foot, which was not as bad as we thought. The bags were definitely heavy, but given our early start, the sun was not extremely hot. We found a vikram (a small vehicle resembling an auto-rickshaw, taking up to eight persons… in our case luckily it was just two on our side given our huge bags) and decided to take the trip all the way to Haridwar as it was not worth it to stop at the bus station and then catching a bus to Haridwar. Once in Haridwar we decided to look for a guesthouse which was close to the train station, which we definitely found, bang on in front of the train station. We spent the remainder of the day in our room, having an early sleep awaiting our ten hour trip to Agra.
