Packing our stuff in order to leave Dharamsala, home of of the Dalai Lama. Heading tomorrow night to Rishikesh also known as the gateway to the Himalayas  and the sanctuary of sadhu's.

In Hinduism, sadhu, or shadhu is a common term for a mystic, an ascetic, practitioner of yoga and/or wandering monks. The sadhu is solely dedicated to achieving the fourth and final Hindu goal of life, moksha (liberation), through meditation and contemplation of Brahman. Sadhus often wear ochre-colored clothing, symbolizing renunciation.
