Haridwar means the Gates of God and the Ghat here marks the exact spot where the river Ganges leaves the mountains, so it is a really busy pilgrimage site.
At night thousands of people turn out to watch the evening prayers when the priests perform with gongs, music and torches.
I was very happy to be back in the north with all the fun and bustle! The hotel I stayed at had a troop of monkeys marching around the roof and the woman in the room next to mine was feeding them bananas and oranges which I thought was great. But next morning my room was raided! Did I scream the place down or what???
