Starting our day with a morning boat ride at dawn. We observed the Hindu way of life along the bank of the Ganges River.  Watching people come down to river in the early morning, taking a bath in the mother Ganga, performing rituals, worshiping the Sun is a unique experience.

India is a country full of native animals especially monkeys. Many of them can be found at Hanuman Ji Temple known as "Monkey Temple". There was an Indian man who looks after the monkeys. He comes everyday and brings bananas to feed them. The monkeys seem playful and happy with this man.

Seeing the monument of Taj Mahal made my eyes in tears . It is one of the most beautiful creation on earth. The Taj Mahal was built by the Mughal Emperor Shan Jahan in commemoration of his favourite wife, Empress Mumtaz Mahal.

I woke up at 5am with the sound of the mantras and the bells from the temples in Pushkar. I was very curious so I decided to take my camera and go outside to watch what was going on around the lake and appreciate the beautiful sunrise.

My first impression about Maldives was the friendly and welcomed people who received us as soon we arrived there.  A paradise where the air is so fresh and the fishes are swimming happily around the white sand and the colourful corals in the blue crystalline water.
