Uttaranchal - Haridwar
It would be rather unrespectful to look into grandparent's bedroom when they are still in bed but their bedroom was on the street of the main road of Haridwar, sleeping there at 4°C night. You work whole your life to get your daily bread but and when you get old, you need less.
Good night Mr. Politician, sleeping tight on your money safe on Swiss Banks.

Snake charmer at Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India

6:05 AM / Posted by Unknown / comments (2)


During my North India trip, I came across several snake charmers. It is true that these snakes are their only means of livelihood,but they cause serious hazard to snake population.Snake charmers either catch these snakes themselves or buy them from snake dealers. After they get a snake, they cut the venom gland or the snake and remove the fangs,thus rendering the snake safe for handling. After the venom glands are cut, the snake will die very soon.
