CHAOS REIGNS ON THE ROADS

So many parades and parties in India

The farms are busy harvesting

Mum and bub on back

Selling fish at our campspot in Khajaraho

The Dance Festival

The lit up temple 

Game drive in Raneh Falls

Spying gharial in the Ken River

Visiting the Temples

Lunch with Sameen

The most famous temples at Khajuraho

Such fabulous craftmanship

Back in the village

Craft Markets beside the Dance Festival

And out into the countryside

The trucks are all parked up.   We just go past!

The local water supply

And the local laundry

They love their parade trucks and trailers

Finally at Varanasi

Out on the Ganges

River dipping

And the Cremation Ghats

Heading back into the side streets - sadly rubbish is everywhere

Our campspot on the Ganges

Over the river is the fort

Following the Ganges

Stuck in traffic yet again

Crossing the Ganges

A funeral procession

More traffic and people chaos

Sunset as we head to Hotel Yasi Raj in Khagaria

Back to crazy truckland

Another pilgrimage

Planting rice - miles of rice

Local Bunnings shop

And local taxis

Following the Himalayan Railway to Darjeeling

The train criss crossing the road

And on to Darjeeling

Traffic and trains share the road

Meat at last (but I think I'll stick to our veges)

Storage yard for steam engines

Not sure where they git the fish from

And the Monastry

Local ladies ready for Tibetan New Year

The high school

Our camp spot - a bit scary with shaking 

Our view

On our way back down hopefully before traffic chaos

Tea picking

River side camping

In training for elephant rides

The Rhino bum - very baggy

They are ready and waiting for us

The other elephant on our tour

Rhino Unicorn (yes really)

It was an awesome ride
