More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the car and the Ganges greets you as if it remembers every traveler who’s dared to ride her. The river pushes forward in silvered sheets and white foam; temples and ashrams line the banks like watchful hosts. Narrow lanes smell of incense, chai stalls call out with clinking cups, and Laxman Jhulla swings above the current like a link between two worlds.
