Jaisalmer FortHello everyone. Left Jaisalmer 5 days ago, heading north up to the Punjab. It took 3 days riding to get to Amritsar, centre of Sikhism, and the old capital of the Punjab. Riding in India takes time. National Highway 15, the road out of rajastan is more like a British B road, but at least it was straight and tarmaced.
On The Road, RajastanAmritsar is a fantastic city, its a typical Indian city, noisy, dirty and hectic, but right in the middle of the chaos is the Golden Temple, the holiest site of the Sikh religion. Its an incredible beautiful Temple in the middle of a man made lake. Very peaceful and relaxing place. Everyone was very friendly, practicing there English on me. I seemed to be the only honky in the entire complex!
Me, headscarf and The Golden Temple, should really have grown a beard.
No such thing as a free meal? There is at The Golden Temple:)
Took this at a mad Hindu Temple. It was more like a ride at Disneyland. You had to follow a one way path around the complex, crawling through man made tunnels, streams etc.. The whole place was done out in a 70's disco theme.
Sticking around Amritsar for a couple more days, get bike serviced, visit Pakistan border etc Then headin up to the Himalaya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
