    Views[252] Views[285] Views[313] This is the view from our hotel balcony in Manali where we would drink Chai in the mornings. Views[313] Rachel wasn't a big fan of the overnight sleeper buses. Views[370]

    Pilgrims improving thier Karma in Varanasi was a goat mecca. Pashmina shalls, popular here, are made exclusively from the chin hairs of baby goats. Views[389] A religious ceremony preformed nightly on the banks of the Ganges in Varanasi. Most of the smoke is coming from burning cow dung patties and incense.

    A street kid did this in about 10 seconds, the real stuff takes up to five hours for a wedding. Views[4733] This cow looked friendly but right after I took this pic she headbutted me. Cows wield the power here and they know it. Views[408] Rachel had a standoff with this hog which didn't seem to want to let her pass. Views[284] These monkeys look cute but can be really vicious when your holding bananas.
