After spending a couple of days decompressing in Munnar,we made our way to Alleppey, the so-called  Venice of India and gateway to the famous Keralan backwaters.  Munnar town Communist flags in Munnar We managed to get accommodation in a local homestay, a house belonging to a wealthy Indian who is based in the middle east and found a chap to take us on a tour in his canoe. The day began with a trip on the local ferry boat across the main backwaters, which stopped off along the way to pick up and drop off school children and villagers going about their business and to work.  One of the many house boats that floats along the backwaters View from the ferry Venetian-style boats can be spotted on the waters We were given breakfast in the family home:sweet coconut rice and noodles, chai and natural cigarettes made from leaves. The house was nestled between a quiet canal and rice paddy fields, where the chap who conducted our tour worked before he ma...

Aarti bowl of flowers and oil votive I floated on the Ganga In typical Sophie style, my departure from Bangalore was dramatic. I had miscalculated the departure time of my train by two hours. Cue panic dash across the city on the back of a dodgy Indian guy's moped trailing cashew nut cookies, mobiles phones and yoga mats in my wake. But the universe was smiling on me - I made it onto the train with approximately 20 seconds to spare before it pulled out of the platform to wend it's slow chugging way from south to north India. The journey was an epic 45 hours: 2 x nights on one train, 9 x hours on local buses and 1 x rickshaw ride later, I arrived in Rishikesh. Despite being exhausted, I was elated to be there and at sunset I quietly celebrated my arrival with my own personal aarti, offering flowers and flames to the river as the sun set over the Holy Ganga. I had come home.  Devi music ashram where I studied harmonium & kirtan Rishikesh is dubbed the ‘yoga cap...
