Ajmer, Pushkar, Jodhpur
We leave really early this morning as we have a long day ahead before reaching Jodhpur. We first stop in Ajmer. I found this town cleaner (less garbage lying around) but somehow was stinking far more than the others. It is also the missing limb fest. ...

Rajistan - Jodhpur

Hide and Seek in Jodhpur
