Recently I was able to travel to India for two months, and to put it simply, it was an absolutely amazing experience. Check out the breathtaking views<\/a> that villagers get to see everyday. Or take a look at the saris that women wear<\/a>.
\nIndia is also a country of many religions, and I was fortunate enough to take a look at several places of worship. View the Hindu temple, Christian church, ancient meditation caves, or Jain house of worship<\/a>. You can even get a glimpse at the spot where some of the ashes of Ghandhi are respectfully laid to rest<\/a>. At the end are also a few pictures of earlier trip I took to Thailand.
\nDon’t forget to share your photos of your own trips!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
