In 2018, Rishikesh was one of the destinations for AES' Mini-course trips. The students, another chaperone, and I took a train to this city of 100,000 people in the north-eastern state of Uttarakhand. Situated alongside the holy Ganges River, Rishikesh is a holy city and known as the Yoga Capital of the World.
During our week along the Ganges River, we hiked through the river valley to a small, local school where we played games with the students there. We also walked through the winding streets of Rishikesh passing ashrams and yoga centers. The Beatles walked these very streets in 1968.

These students were incredibly polite and respectful. When called upon, they stood up nice and straight and answered the question before sitting down.
