The Real Marigold Hotel

[Tawi2]

Yes,i was in srinagar mainly,but i did come down way south and travelled extensively,even did a touristy trip on the taj express train from Delhi-agra with noce breakfast and stuff to wander around the taj,happy times,i remember going to varanasi to the funeral ghats to try and see the agouri sadhu who eat human flesh,the country defies description as its like all your visual/olfactory/audio senses are being assaulted every corner you turn.

.....even did a touristy trip on the taj express train from Delhi-agra

I did exactly the same trip from Delhi. Had a great journey on that train with nice folks who shared their fruits and laughs.
When I arrived in Agra I did the Taj Mahal tour alone took the usual photos then spent most of the day eating ice cream in hotels and roaming about.
The very day I went it was around 46C and far too hot to do much else. Plenty of ice cold Kingfisher beer before heading back to Delhi.

i remember going to varanasi to the funeral ghats

I visited Varanasi many times. Whenever I was in Lucknow for any length of time I'd always get to Varanasi for a couple of days. It was about a day's train ride.
Used to make a point to take photo's at Kedar Ghat.
A couple of times I walked for a good 2 hours in the summer heat but just couldn't find any end to all those Ghats.

I took some photo's at one place where there were a good half dozen fires burning bodies. Bit gruesome to be honest. Not something I wanted to experience seeing body parts fall out of the fire and being poked back in by a some ugly chap with a big pole.

Historic place. Bit of a S***h**e to be honest hehehe
