This is cheap and very interesting. You will receive meals together with the people who also stay in this temple. food goes with the hands and very quickly everything is worked in. They often find it very nice to see that you also eat with your hands. They laugh a lot and look at you. During your stay you are also allowed in the temple to attend a ceremony.

A good tip: when entering a city, ask the locals for a \"lodge\" or \"lodging\"; often they immediately direct you to the best place to sleep. You do not have to be afraid of \"touts\" in the non-touristy cities. You often find a hotel in front of the bus station.","In general, this is not really recommended due to lack of privacy.

The people, especially in the countryside, are incredibly curious: people always cycle with you and as soon as you stop the whole village literally comes running and then starts staring at you alone. Hardly anything is said then. In India you are never alone, it is nowhere quiet and everyone always wants something from you, this will start to get you upset very quickly (but it seems that it will pass after a few months). The population (or India as a whole) is so different that in the beginning you are completely annoyed but want to go back afterwards. ”","2021-05-23T10:50:22.000Z","ieMGYdJeX6ZyKgKeeGhMXPFZkax2",{"traffic":55,"nature":56},"The major roads are generally busy, although it is possible to cycle in the hard lanes.

Almost in all states and restaurants they sell nan bread, chapati, lentils, raitha, curry dishes, egg dishes and especially rice! Of course you will find many vegetarian restaurants, but meat and fish is also readily available.\n\n**Stalls**\n\n-   You can find stalls on the street very often, typical dishes are:\n-   Bread dishes: chapati, parotha, naan, roti, ... In the south you sometimes find fresh rolls or packaged rolls. I asked for \\[warapaw\\] or \\[paw\\] (pronounced like that). Nice for breakfast for those who have less easy Indian breakfast. Or you eat chapati with bananas.\n-   Typical dishes for the south: puri, dosa, idli (typical breakfast), \"meals\": rice with lentils, curry and papad (similar to dahl). You can sometimes ask for an omelette at the stalls that make puri or other things.\n-   You will find tea houses on many main roads. The \"chai\" is a specialty here, but coffee is also available (at least in the south). Some also have cold drinks and meals.\n-   In the south you will often find stalls with coconuts, more south also other fruits such as pineapple, ...\n\n**Markets and supermarkets**\n\nThere is a good supply of both in cities of some significance.\n\n**Restaurants**\n\nIn the cities there is often a large choice of restaurants, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian.

Larger cities also feel safe, using common sense remains the message of course. I have more often than not put the bike in the room at night, many hotels have a porter, the bike is very safe here.\n\nThe people are very curious and like to get in touch. In the south, a little more English is spoken and signposts are also in English. The official language Hindi, which is spoken in the north, is hardly spoken in the south; each state has a different language with different dialects. Some cyclists have trouble with people's curiosity, especially the tinkering with the bike and the gears.\n\nReligion is very visible in life in India; everywhere along the way you will find pilgrims, on their way to a place of pilgrimage. These are often very pleasant conversation partners.\n\nMartin: \"The population is nice but very curious. Waiting for the barriers, three rows of Indians will soon be around you.

March quickly becomes uncomfortably warm and April and otherwise the rainy season is not suitable for cycling trips.\n\n**Spare parts**\n\nIn India there are many bicycles that are used for short distances. However, there are hardly any bicycles with gears. So you cannot count on spare parts. Indian mountain bikes are sold, but are certainly an exception outside the big cities. If you have a problem with your modern Shimano assembled bike and you need to get spare parts, you will have to go to Delhi or Bombay.\n\n**Tips**\n\nLet India come over you and experience it. It helps if you take your time and are patient with the people. Try to talk to people as much as possible; a booklet with photos from your own life is a great means of communication. I sometimes gave a photo away to people with whom I had a good contact or who helped me.","2021-05-23T10:50:54.000Z",[],{"pois":76,"users":77,"hosts":78},56,30,3,"2026-11-06T11:25:25.554Z",[81,90,98,106,113,120,127,135,143,150,157,164,171,178,186,193,200,208,216,223,230,237,244,251,258,265,272,279,286,293,300,307,314,319,326,333,340,347,354,361,368,375,382,389,396,403,410,417,424,431,438,445,452,459,466,473],{"id":82,"type":83,"title":84,"countryCode":4,"location":85,"likes":88,"excerpt":89},"92235aab-2d76-4706-9bc3-20d237f93aab","ferry","Boat Club, Bhopal",{"lat":86,"lng":87},23.242368,77.3812282,1,"Visit: For boating in Upper Lake (Bhojtal) - the largest man-made lake in India Cycling on the road adjacent to lake",{"id":91,"type":92,"title":93,"countryCode":4,"location":94,"likes":88,"excerpt":97},"e9eba7b4-9c82-4ce5-bb3d-7128c133d741","wild-camping","Camp",{"lat":95,"lng":96},13.650418761635358,78.39694654341214,"Easy camping for a best view Easy to reach destination",{"id":99,"type":100,"title":101,"countryCode":4,"location":102,"likes":88,"excerpt":105},"531095ff-c8f9-4fba-8aa2-9a090d06666d","see-and-do","Click photo",{"lat":103,"lng":104},10.064318658635889,77.07046508789064,"Munnar is one of the beautiful hill station in india 🇮🇳❤️",{"id":107,"type":100,"title":108,"countryCode":4,"location":109,"likes":88,"excerpt":112},"53a524f5-1d5a-48c6-91c6-92bfa711e103","Kaliyasot Dam",{"lat":110,"lng":111},23.200443,77.410728,"Visit For a run around the dam trail To cycle on a road adjacent to the dam and the Kaliyasot Lake Note - Beware of crocodiles in the dam",{"id":114,"type":100,"title":115,"countryCode":4,"location":116,"likes":88,"excerpt":119},"cd8848e9-7a24-4f19-9b00-d77fd4bdb1bc","Kerwa Dam",{"lat":117,"lng":118},23.166439,77.372545,"Visit To see a beautiful dam surrounded by forest By cycling (in group) Note - The road to the dam is beautiful but be cautious of wild animals (including…",{"id":121,"type":100,"title":122,"countryCode":4,"location":123,"likes":88,"excerpt":126},"8a300075-af00-4a95-af4f-589b3ccdb694","Taj Mahal",{"lat":124,"lng":125},27.17384,78.04313,"",{"id":128,"type":100,"title":129,"countryCode":4,"location":130,"likes":133,"excerpt":134},"3374d841-a80a-448b-a09b-c6c0c77d3d17","Amargarh Waterfall",{"lat":131,"lng":132},22.895421,77.730824,0,"Visit To see a beautiful waterfall amid dense forest (Be cautious of wildlife) By cycle but definitely in a group (The path to the waterfall involves around 5…",{"id":136,"type":137,"title":138,"countryCode":4,"location":139,"likes":133,"excerpt":142},"9d98f4ad-32d3-4dfa-9280-0ec5b08d80e6","hostel","Backpacker Hostel",{"lat":140,"lng":141},23.247957,77.393351,"Website - https:\u002F\u002Fwww.bistarhostels.com\u002F",{"id":144,"type":100,"title":145,"countryCode":4,"location":146,"likes":133,"excerpt":149},"50c31456-e123-4664-b467-3ce9144830aa","Balancing Rock",{"lat":147,"lng":148},23.148619,79.90475,"Visit by cycle to see a natural formation - A Balancing Rock in Jabalpur…",{"id":151,"type":83,"title":152,"countryCode":4,"location":153,"likes":133,"excerpt":156},"75d66476-524a-49ad-9adf-6e7fe92a5f3f","Barmaan Narmada Ghat",{"lat":154,"lng":155},23.021092,79.028383,"Visit: To see the banks of Narmada river and perhaps take a dip (with caution) To ferry your cycle from one side of bank to another via boat at a very fair…",{"id":158,"type":83,"title":159,"countryCode":4,"location":160,"likes":133,"excerpt":163},"0eb407b1-52de-4e22-8f43-aa2e1ecfebb0","Bhedaghat Boating Point",{"lat":161,"lng":162},23.133361,79.800316,"Visit: To experience the beautiful marble rocks via boat Cycle ferry not allowed By cycle till the banks of the river from Jabalpur (Nearby city - Around 25…",{"id":165,"type":100,"title":166,"countryCode":4,"location":167,"likes":133,"excerpt":170},"96575c75-76ba-4edb-a88f-f2ed33d03a95","Bhimbetka Rock Shelter",{"lat":168,"lng":169},22.938791,77.6091,"Visit To see ancient rock paintings A UNESCO World heritage site - https:\u002F\u002Fwhc.unesco.org\u002Fen\u002Flist\u002F925\u002F By cycle to the entrance gate and then inside as well…",{"id":172,"type":100,"title":173,"countryCode":4,"location":174,"likes":133,"excerpt":177},"b7b30d3e-4838-4a83-983b-ecc6f71ff64e","Bhojpur Temple",{"lat":175,"lng":176},23.100219,77.579698,"Visit: To see the ancient Shiva temple in Bhopal By cycle from the main city Bhopal Beware of monkeys on the site.
