After 12 days of #Backpacking across North #India, covering nearly 4,000kms travelling on 6 flights, a train, busses, Tuks Tuks, Scooters, Rickshaws and a Shikar boat - I'm finally #home! There's really nothing like it and you can imagine the feeling especially after roughing it out in India! However, it's been an amazing trip and one that has definitely broadened my perspective....

Couple of days back we visited Mukesh Ji's place - "Jungle Vibes" in #Rishikesh. For the past 30+ years he has been making #African #Djembés and #Australian #Didgeridoos using wood from the nearby forest together with his son (next to me) Many foreign tourists and travellers come to learn to play the instruments at this place. Hence we had a lovely jamming session with one...

Christmas Eve '15 Rishikesh, India My first #Christmas away from home. Missing the fam bam, the festivities and the excitement. This view tried its best to make up for it though. From the balcony of "The 60's Cafe" in #Rishikesh, whose theme is inspired by the #Beatles Wishes for a Blessed Christmas to all my friends and family! #FollowTheStache #India #Backpacking #Travel...

In February 1968, the #Beatles travelled to Rishikesh in North India to practice meditation and immerse themselves in a transcendental experience. Today we're also in #Rishikesh. Following their footsteps we'll be checking out the Ashram that the Beatles stayed at. This cool #WallArt is at #Zostel Rishikesh btw. #FollowTheStache #Backpacking #India #Travel Follow @mevanpeiris...

"Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose.." The only reminder of #Christmas in this part of the world is the freezing cold, the fireplace & the occasional bawling out of Christmas Carols by yours truly after a visit from the 'Old Monk'. 😉 😜 #FollowTheStache #India #Backpacking #Zostel #zosteldiaries Follow @mevanpeiris on Instagra...

A Holy Man of the #Ganges Bāba ji - an elderly Sādhu we met at the Dhashashwamedh Ghat. Crippled by old age he walks around using a crutch. Although he spoke only a few words, he was very happy when we asked him to pose for a photograph. #India #FollowTheStache #Backpacking #Travel Follow @mevanpeiris on Instagra...
