I've just returned from a wonderful Road Scholar trip in India, along the Ganges from Varanasi (also known as Benares) to Kolkata (Calcutta). The next several weeks of this blog will present photos from this visually intense region. I'll begin with a series of characteristic day-by-day photos along the route, then follow with more thematic sets of pictures.
