senses

The Journey begins
In North India, from the Himalayan foothills, along the Ganga river valley, along NH48 highway, in Uttarakhand. Nearly 230 kms from Delhi to Haridwar-Rishikesh, then another 200km to go till BirdsCall, from Haridwar.
The Journey continues...
Greater Cormorants sunning themselves along the Ganga, as seen from the highway
The Journey continues...
The emerald Ganga, by our side for nearly all the way...perfect for a half way halt and some white water activities
The Journey continues...
The milestones and map markers before we turn off-grid! 28 kms from BirdCall
