Chunar

Day trips around Banaras are fun

They bring out the eastern Uttar Pradesh beyond the towns and one that is far from the clichés. . . 

Jargo Dam

How we missed carrying additional clothes and towels here! 

Khoya Mandi 

I had no idea that Khoya could be available in such a range of shades! 

The fun part was having it right there. 

Fort

It boasts of a rich history. A range of people from Governor General Warren Hastings to Rani Jindan Kaur are associated. 

Today, however, it is a disappointment - only a small area is accessible to visitors and this too lies in a sad state. 

Cemetery 

The structures are crumbling. Inscriptions, however, are intact. 

Dargah

Here I saw a wall held with ropes. 

I also wished that religions would ban plastic.
