Cuando uno se acerca a orillas del Ganges (o del Ganga, tal y como le llaman los locales) entiende por qué es considerado el río sagrado de India por excelencia. Y es que la cantidad de mierda, y perdón por la expresión, que va a parar en este río no tiene nombre.El hostal en el que nos hospedamos está relativamente cerca de uno de los principales crematorios, así que en más de una ocasión durante nuestra estancia en Varanasi fuimos a echar un vistazo. Lo que vieron nuestros ojos fue algo imposible de olvidar.Por un lado se encuentran los encargados de la barbacoa humana quemando cadáveres a diestro y siniestro... ¿los restos? al río.A pocos metros, unas cuantas vacas dándose un bañito. A su lado, algunas señoras haciendo la colada.

We had spent the 27 kms drive from Rishikesh, (which seemed more like a chase to a no man's land) in excitement and anxiety. After all, we had not seen any brochures and had done no web search. So, when we set o
Patna, May 3 (IANS) Two Germans have set out on elephant and camel backs for an innovative expedition to learn more about the history, culture and folklore of the river Ganges and the everyday lives of the people who live along it.
Pir and Gill aim to bring German and Indian cultures closer by their voyage of discovery of one of India’s most important rivers that originates in the mountainous heights of Gomukh in Uttaranchal.
The duo, in the 30s, left Patna for Gomukh earlier this week on their 60-day trek.
Impressed by age-old stories around the Ganges — that attracts millions during festivals and for a dip in the holy river — the two German friends will meet people for whom the river is a lifeline.
“There were hundreds of folk stories about life and cultures flourishing along the Ganges for ages. We would like to know more about it through this expedition,” Gill said.
During their expedition, the duo will cover important cities on the banks of the Gange
