Traveler's discription:
Indus Valley is in a part of india. It is very close to the Indus river. This place is mainly about history. That is because the people who had lived in the Indus Valley had dissappeared a long long time ago. But some of their buildings and water sources were still. You can
always see how people in the past had lived using dirts and maybe other things to construct their houses.
When you go to the Indus Valley, it always depends on when to go. You can catch the Moonsoon Season at June to November. At other times, it might be pretty dry. So bring an umbrella at anytime because even if it wasn't the monsoon season, it is really hot. Since it is hot, it is also dry. You need plenty of water when go there. As you can see from the last section, there was alot of history that I just described. When you go there, don't expect any hotels of things like that. It is bacically just dirt.
But if you go around that place, you will find out that it is pretty near a river that is famous which is the Indus River. You might want to take your notebook there since it is all about a lake and the Indus history. You could easily write down what you had seen in the valley. I would also prefer you bringing your camera or your video taper. You can take pictures and videotape down the fantastic sites of the Indus Valley. You can take pictures or record down the houses of the Indus civilization. The Indus River is very long and it was a main water source for the Indus Valley. Tourists should visit two small cities Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, and more than 100 towns and villages. They both started out small, then theey expanded. They then stopped tradeing and ended civilization which made it small again.
There were three or four floods that had happened in Harappa. You can go see how they use their houses to prepare the floods.

The Ganges River was NOT like the Indus River. Althought the Ganges river is more polluted than the Indus River, it is still cosidered holy water. On a day in the year, people will go to the Ganges River and bathe
there. They believed that if they did theis, their sins will be washed away by the water God.
Mainly only woman bathe in the river. Very less man bathe there. They just go around. But it is
still considered holy water till today. And people still bathe there.

Varansai
Varansai is not an ancient city. But it is bordering the Ganges River so that people in Varansai alos believe
that it is holy water. In Varansai, you can see many traditional cultures, musics, and arts. There were alot of people there. There are still people living in there today. So that makes it different from the Indus Valley which already
got abandoned. Their houses were clorful. Nit like the dull Indus Valley houses which were made out of dirt.
