Waterfalls and crazy heat.

Everybody knows India is hot. We also knew India would be hot. We were prepared for it! We are Australian after all! A little heat is fine.....
And then we arrived... And we learnt that 43C is something not to be sneezed at..
It is literally so hot that sneezing hurts your nose...
So! We decided to rent a scooter and visit a nearby waterfall for a bit of a reprieve from the Rishikesh heat.

The drive out of Rishikesh was just beautiful. It really is just such a picturesque place. The beautiful Ganges flowing through the foothills of the himalayas.... It doesn't get much more amazing.

The waterfall was pretty easy to find, and actually surprisingly easy to access. We were able to ride our scooter almost all the way to the top, and then walk the last 100 m or so. From the small swimming hole you can also continue up higher to the larger water hole.

The water in the waterfall was ICE cold. Almost too cold to swim in! It was freezing! But oh so so refreshing!! The perfect way to escape the crazy heat!! 
It was a nice place for a picnic aswell. And to people watch! Cute couples on dates all over the place. Sharing potato chips and taking selfies together...

It's the perfect place to relax and lower your body temperature. 
Until you have to leave and then literally 5 minutes later you are over-heating again... 
Welcome to India!
