After Varanasi - Agra, Amritsar and McLeod Ganj

So at the moment me and matt are in "our" city in India; McLeod Ganj. McLeod is spelt differently as we are MacLeod, but we still feel at home up here none the less. So over the last couple of weeks we've gone from Varanasi to Agra, spent a night back at Sheela Inn, where everything happened back in 2005 for IC2005. We then went up to Amritsar for a couple of days, checking out the golden temple and chilling with the Sikhs for a bit, then coming up here to the chilled out hill station McLeod Ganj. Here are a few photos of the last couple of weeks.....


South Indian Ghat in Varanasi with Indians bathing in the ganges and the view of the sunrise from our boat trip along the Ganges

Us in front of Taj and me doing "Indian shit position"

Memories of IC2005 still remaining in Sheela Inn...they still remember us and wanted to know what everyones doing and when AIESEC is coming back to Agra


Golden temple and me and matt with fully sick Sikh standing in front of it


Border ceremony in attari with overly excited Indians running back and forth with Indian flag. It was just a big we are better than you rally with Pakistan, to see who can yell the loudest, who can stomp the hardest and who ultimately is the best......go India

View of valley in McLeod Ganj right outside of our hotel and sign supporting Tibet to be in 2008 Olympics in China...as McLeod Ganj is a tibetan colony of people (including the Dali Lama) who have fled to safety from Tibet

A view of the water fall we walked to around McLeod Ganj which was a nice 3km hike and me indulging in some Nutella after a mega hike up the hills around McLeod Ganj.
