Maan Bilas Bikaner

... the sort of animals one wants to have too close and they are not clean neither, but for whatever reason, hindus decided to build a temple to worship them. I thought there would be rats everywhere, that it would be difficult to walk without stepping on one and then facing the mandatory fine, but fortunately, it is not quite like that. There are some rats but they like to stay in some areas of the building, and the majority show a sick state, so they ...

... a person and their possessions). We passed village women, dressed in colourful sari's, carrying all sorts of bundles and pots on their heads. It seemed as though we would be in the middle of nowhere but then you'd spot a person sitting on the crest of a sand dune in the distance. Today was a nice contrast from the hectic hustle and bustle of Delhi. I feel I'm a little more settled in the indian swing of things ...

... can be memorable and exciting traveling in the luxury car. There are many other captivating destinations in Jaipur waiting for the glimpse of the visitors coming to this Kingly state. You can also visit Udaipur the most beautiful place of this kingly state. The best way to explore the beauty of Udaipur is by hiring car from car rental Udaipur companies.

... Holi had started. One guy who did walk around the corner down the street said that he was actually chased back by kids with colors. After dinner, we went out to look out over the city and saw the orange glow of fires from various spots. I wish I could have been closer, but I heeded the advice of Indira (whose maiden name is Gandhi, by the way). I suspected the natives could be hostile or friendly depending on the situation; best not to risk it ...

... des rideaux alors je crois qu il fera froid ! les nuits sont très froides apparemment mais la journée ça va. Nous avons fait le tour de la ville et ici il y a des vaches, c est sale mais beaucoup plus tranquille quand meme que Dehli. Nous avons testé la nourriture ( riz vegetarien) et aussi dans la rue une friandise conseillée par Gouri. C est du beurre qu ils chauffent et y ajoutent du liquide, apparemment du lait et farine. C est gras mais pas mauvais. Tout à l ...

... of ghee that were used as a substitute for water. Sometimes in the summer the floor feels greasy even to this day. It didn't feel greasy to us although we did leave our socks on. The temple was very bright and colourful with intricate patterns adorning everywhere. The third floor had good views over Bikaner's quaint old town, which we spent half an hour wandering round on our own while our driver waited. The narrow, bustling streets were really ...

... d been expecting after the tourist traps of most of Rajasthan's cities and the main road past the station was full of little fruit juice and tea stands with seats outside where you could relax for a bit. There were also a nice lot of Indian cheap restaurants (yay - no more overpriced tourist curry!) and a fort and palace (obligatory in Rajasthan we believe). A continual stream of people, cows, camels with carts, dogs, tuk-tuks, jeeps and bikes trundled up and down the road ...

... home of the Tibetan Government in exile, where we stayed for a relaxing four days, enjoying a very different culture, food and ambiance. The reality of walking amongst scores of young and old Buddhist monks in their striking orange robes was like a Tintin book come to life! The peaceful nature of the Tibetans shone through and we were reluctant to leave. And luck was on our side, as we had the privilege of attending a teaching by the Dalai ...

Namaste!! We arrived into Bikaner on the bus from Jaisalmer. Of course, the bus was full (with people standing too) and late!! India time is alot like African time - you get there when you get there!! :-) We caught a rickshaw to our hotel which was amazing. The place used to be where the prime minister of Bikaner once had lived with his three wives. The hotel is now supposedly run by his great-grandson. The rooms were ...

... They have these wood brackets in the front section so you can only have one rider at a time, and the brackets can rub on your legs if you don't have the padding set just right. But, riding on a camel is fun and the view from up that high is great. The guide and camel owners made us lunch of chipatis and a cabbage, potato and califlower stir fry that had lots of spices in it. Toni and Kenny Lee thought is was a little ...
