Monsoon Ganga, Leopard Country, and the Quiet After Kanwar

Day five in Rishikesh. The Kanwar Yatra has ended and the town is catching its breath. The Ganga is still in dangerous spate, rafting is suspended, and wildlife is creeping closer to the roads. Arjun takes stock of the monsoon river, checks on the cost of living, eats a legendary thali, and plans what comes next as the rains begin to clear. ☕ Enjoying the show?
