Rishikesh
I have finally arrived in Rishikesh, after a 7.25hr flight (very comfortable might i add with Jet Airways) and a 7.5hr car journey to Rishikesh…i left at 10.20pm Milan time, arrived at 9.25am Delhi time, and arrived in Rishikesh at 7.30pm!
My 200hr Ashtanga Vinyasa Teacher Training course starts tomorrow, Sunday 5th October, at 5pm.
So far, my initial thoughts on Rishikesh are great…where we are, swargashram, is just by the Ganges river, there’s a hustle and bustle of motorbikes, endless honking, people everywhere, cows, cow dung and monkeys! Ashrams everywhere, so many! As well as the endless little shops on either sides of the street, holy men walking around, music playing…it’s so alive!
I’m going to my first ashtanga vinyasa class today at 5pm taught by Yogi Kamal Singh….overlooking the river and tomorrow i decided to get an ayurvedic massage done – 300Rs for 1hr & 10mins.
I’ve also come across a lovely cafe to eat, Moon Dance cafe i believe it’s called, will double check and let u guys know…an ondulating set of metal stairs lead you to the restaurant, a big terrace…and they serve everything, and i mean everything…from american/british breakfast to mexican, to nepalise & tibetan food! I had some Nepalese food which was delish and just 120Rs.
The best exchange rate i found was 1 euro = 66.50Rs
and just to give u an idea of costs, here are a few i remember:
Nepalese lunch 120Rs
Ayurvedic Massage 300Rs
Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga class 300Rs
1 bottle of water 20Rs
adaptor 45Rs
internet 20Rs/hr – skyping 40Rs/hr
Taxi ride from Delhi airport to Rishikesh 3,000Rs
I will try to upload some pix and i’ll give you feedback on the yoga class as well as tomorrow’ ayurvedic massage! 🙂
Namaste! _/|\_
