India was a fun trip. The plane ride was 24 hours long and it was really boring. All I could do was sleep and play gameboy. We stopped once at Seoul and then were on the way to Bombay. We stayed there for 4 days and then left for Delhi, Jaipur and Agra. There, the hotels were very nice and the food was also pretty good. We stayed there for 5-10 days. Then we went to CharDham Yatra. It was in the mountains and I got car sick. To make things even worse, the car was a new car. So when we entered we smelled the leather and I hated the smell. The cars in Delhi, Jaipur and Agra didn't smell at all. We went to four places in the mountains, Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath. First we went to Yamunotir. This is where the mouth of the Yamuna river is. We had to go on a horse there because it was too small of a path for cars to go on. Then we went down the mountain and stayed in a hotel overnight. The next day we went to Gangotri. This is where the river Ganga is. I splashed some water on myself because it was holy water. Then the next day we went to Kedarnath. This was very long. So we had to stay up there in the hotel overnight. The next day we came down. Kedarnath was Lord Shiva's place. Our final destination was Bardinath. This was Lord Vishnu's place. My parents said it was good to go to the chardham, but I thought it was kind of boring. After that we drove to Delhi and took a plane to Bombay where we stayed for 7 more days. Then we left India and took another boring flight back to San Francisco.
