This autumn I spent a month in northern India on an itinerary that took me via trains, planes and automobiles from Delhi to McLeod Ganj, Rishikesh, Varanasi, Agra, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Haripur, Jawai, northern Goa and Mumbai.

I’ve written a few pieces on some of the experience (more to come); here are some pictures from the sacred cities…
