    Kaziranga National Park Photos

    Kaziranga National Park Photos

    Martin shared about our tour of the Kaziranga National Park in Assam here, but I think it deserved a few more photos, so I’ve put together this gallery.   This park should be on everyone’s Travel To-do List. It was an experience of a lifetime. Big animals. Untouched jungle. Nearly no foreign tourists. Baby elephants. [...]

    Good Times at Assam’s Top Attraction

    Good Times at Assam’s Top Attraction

    Today, we took time off from our Arunachal Pradesh quest to visit a national park – and what a park. Kaziranga is perhaps not the best known park in the world, but for us it ranks among the top attractions in India – it even counts as one of the major highlights of this whole [...]

    Personal Space – A Relative Term, Really

    Personal Space – A Relative Term, Really

    Personal space means one thing to us and something all together different to Indians. When I board a bus at home (San Francisco), I hope that the empty seat next to me stays empty. It’s not because I’m antisocial (no, no – of course not). It’s because I like my space, especially on public transportation. [...]

    The Muum

    The Muum

      If I were to be completely honest, I’d have to say that wearing anything other than a Muumuu is impractical. The Muumuu, or Muum as I like to call it, is the world’s greatest outfit.   You name me one other piece of clothing that you can wear while sleeping, running errands, cooking, throwing [...]

    Either You Get It, Or You Don’t

    Once upon a time I made a video reenactment of my experience in a Dharamsala yoga class. I put it on Youtube so I could share it on our blog. It’s since been watched over 150 times, with varying reactions. I will make no excuses for the video, but I will leave you with the [...]

    How’s Guwahati? Weeell…

    How’s Guwahati? Weeell…

    Guwahati is the capital of Assam, and pretty much unavoidable if you wish to travel in India’s north east. It is a convenient hub with most of the mod cons (espresso, okay restaurants and travel agents). It also picks up a few points for its scenic location by the mighty Brahmaputra river. Other than that, [...]

    To Each His Own

    To Each His Own

    This actually qualifies as entertainment in Guwahati: bring your best friend, lock yourselves into a transparent bubble, zip it closed and commence splashing around on an artificial pool.   As the late Hunter S. Thompson used to say, “Buy the ticket, take the ride.”

    By the Seat of Our Pants: Now Also in the Northeast

    By the Seat of Our Pants: Now Also in the Northeast

    We’ve arrived in Guwahati, the capital of the state of Assam. It is the jumping-off point for the ‘seven sisters’ – the seven small Indian states in the north-eastern part of the country. Our mission here is to try to get a permit to visit one of the sisters: Arunachal Pradesh, and then move on. [...]

    Eating an Indian Thali

    Eating an Indian Thali

    The thali is a dish we’ve been looking forward to since we last left India. Actually, calling it just one dish is a misnomer – it’s really a bunch of little dishes served together with rice and/or naan (Indian flat bread). Thalis vary by region – one of the best meals we’ve had in India [...]

    Drink at Your Own Risk

    Drink at Your Own Risk

    This is why travelers should not drink the local’s “drinking water” in India.   We ran across this truck after walking along the Brahmaputra river in Guwahati. The water you see being dumped into the tank is pumped directly from – you guessed it – the river. The same river that I was happy to [...]

    Is That What I Think It Is?

    Is That What I Think It Is?

    We’ve found that taking a stroll in India means that sometimes you come across a dead dog. It happens, you feel a little gross about it, then you move on. It’s just one of those things that you deal with.   Today’s stroll along the Brahmaputra river in Guwahati brought an all together different dead-thing [...]
