Madhuban Hotel Jaipur

Jaipur eh a capital do Rajastao, por sinal esse estado eh o que mais recebe turistas na India. Passamos 2,5 dias por la. Essa cidade eh a cidade rosa, mas nao achamos nenhum sao-paulino por la. Todo o centro velho da cidade eh pintado em rosa alaranjado. Como primeira impressao do Rajastao foi otima. Pois nao eh tao caotica como Delhi, e tem varios lugares bonitos. Um dos cartoes postais da India, o palacio dos ventos, todo em rosa esta la. Alem de ja sentir o clima do estado, onde ver um cam...

From the airport in Jaipur, we took a taxi (pre-paid, fixed price, 330 rupees) to a hotel I had selected from our guidebook (The Footprint India Handbook 2009). The reason I chose this hotel was that it was in an area with several other recommended hotels so if this one turned out to be unacceptable, we would have alternatives in the neighborhood.

Hi, October 7th:I left hotel Blue at 5:00 am to get the Shatabdi Express to Jaipur. It was quite comfortable during the traintrip. It's starts with a newspaper and some tea with cookies. After that a breakfast and at last some tea and mango juice. I arrived in Jaipur at 11.00 pm and called my hotel to pick me up from the station. Hotel Madhuban seems a good choice after all:big clean room, clean and hot shower and a very clean bed. It's a bit expensive (1200 rupees) but worth the money. After...

Hi, October 9th: I left the Jaipur trainstation at 10:50 for the trip to Sawai Madhopur. I met a couple from Israel and joined them during the 3 hour traintrip. We arrived in Sawai Madhopur around 14:00 ppm and took a jeep to the Tiger Safari resort. It's good that i made a reservation because all room were fully booked. The rest of the day I was sunbathing on the roofterrace and booked a safari for the next day. October 10th: I woke up at 5.30am and left at 6.30am for a safari in Ranthambhor...
