Exploring South Asian Religions and Philosophies

The rest of our trip around India was filled with a number of incredible experiences: from cycling through the abandoned pleasure palaces of Mandu, finding a hippie commune on the beaches of Karnataka, eating Dosas in Mysore, discussing philosophy along the ghats of Varanasi and tracing the route of the historical Buddha from his birthplace in Lumbini to his deathbed in Kushinagar. In fact this portion of my trip turned out to be one of the best portions of my entire year – with the best food, the least tourists and some of the most incredible history of anywhere in India.
