India Trip 2010
I west to india for 2 months. Why? Do do a panchakarma. That means for 6 weeks i was to be eating a special diet and having treatments every day and take medicines that will heal every ill and ache and take at least 10 years off. Well i can only hope. You can click on the top navigation button for “Total Trip” to access links for each of the places I visisted. There were 2 side-trips as well to Thrissur and to Minuti.
So my intinerary included:
- 6 weeks in the country at Sreehary Ayurvedic Retreat
- Vaarkala to get a taste of the warm ocean – Rather than rushing home after the 6 weeks at Sreedhari I decided to spend tsome time at a small beach town called Varkala. The beach is stunning, the clifftop setting is amazing, the sunsets and the food at the restaurants unbelievably good and cheap but the hawkers are aggressive and clawing, persistent and annoying.
- Fort Cochin for my final 3 days for some history and to be close to the airport – But it is a slice of the real world. Everything is about money again. Hawkers everywhere and I got conned. The post and video about the Kathicali dancers is amazing though and I enjoyed me time here with Shosh for sure.
Below was my first video I took right after arriving in the countryside and the gallery below has images from Kootala and its people
i have posted some gorgous videos of people washing their cows in the river. Each cow is different. Some just dive in and go for a swim. Some have to be beaten into the river where their owner washes them down. I am mesermized by this and by more…
Here are some pictures of people and stuff.
