We caught an overnight train from Jaipur after a 4 Hour bus ride back from Pushkar. This one was less scary, primarily because we couldn't see oncoming traffic this time as we were further back. We are trying to limit our bus trips as there are apparently 85,000 road deaths a year in India...hmmmmmm...train is definitely the more comfortable opt...

A few nights ago, we took an overnight train from Varanasi to Delhi in 3rd class sleeper with no AC. We were prepared for the worst, but found the car to be a little bit cleaner and cooler than we imagined.. until the car became fully loaded, and we didn't want to kick a family out of one of our seats. Sarah and I ended up sharing a bunk in the ...

26/1/2008 - 28/1/2008 Jaisalmer Hospitality... We departed the train and were instantly exposed to a very wintry 4 degrees C. It was still dark outside, though dawn was approaching, and we looked around for our complimentary ride to our accommodation - Hotel Killa Bhawan, waiting 15 mins, but no one came (lots of offers with various prices to ta...

Wow, what a week! From wandering through ancient temples and conquering sand dunes on camels to falling asleep under the stars in the desert and being so, so sick that we thought we were dying - India has been extreme. Namaste everyone, When we last checked in we were in Delhi, on the eve of setting off on our Rajasthan Adventure. We'd already s...

Me and my four French friends heading for the first stop on the way there which was Jodphur. This city has a huge fort overlooking everything,...

We catch a jeep out to the Thar desert in the afternoon and spend an hour or so riding camels into the desert. Lots of cacti, bushes and sort of an Arizona desert thing going on. We do stop for the sunset overlooking some sand dunes, which was quite brilliant before trekking back (on the camels) as the temprerature dropped a lot and real quick. ...

Well what a fun three days we had in the desert. We were picked up from our hotel at about 9am on Monday morning. We went to see some historical buildings which were pretty impressive before we were dropped off in the desert. We were introduced to our guides - Rahman and Bilal and our camels - 4 young men called Papu, Papu (yes there were 2 Papu...

JAISELMER Rajasthan, India City of sandstone. Oasis in the desert, Ornately sculpted. 28 Dec 80 Mamar near Papharam enroute to Jaisalmer Jaiselmer was one of many memorable places we visited. Probably far pleasanter than in pre monsoon torrid heat. Called the Pink City because of the many structures built with pink stone. Few tourists there. My ...
