Vendredi 16 janvier 2009 Nous avons pris ce matin le bus pour Ajmer encore 6 heures !Nous l avons pris a 8H30 et il était à l heure, nous sommes donc arrivés à 14H30 et de là on a directement repris un autre bus couleur local pour Pushkar à environ une demi heure. Ça fait encore une grosse journée de voyage ! Les prochaines fois on le fera de nu...

Booking a train ticket - PART II Background: After our month in North India we were due to be going down south over New Year which was going to be one of the busiest times of the year as there are so many travelers and tourists. We knew that we would have to book the train tickets ahead. 3 weeks in advance we began to start thinking about this b...

EM: Ok so many days after the events i am about to describe, Max and I still struggle to keep up with this blog. Photo's are now up I promise and hopefully they can do alot of the talking for us. Before we start a little background on Puskar. Bramha was said to have dropped a lotus flower on the Earth and up rose Pushkar. It is said to be the on...

Namaste, seus marados..... desde que saimos de Delhi, a nossa viagem tem sido altamente excitante e mais espectacular do que palavras podem descrever...... eu acho que nao ha adjectivos e superlativos suficientes para descrever a India..... tudo e demasiado e nada, nada pode preparar uma pessoa para este pais, tem que ser experimentado na primei...

No beer, no meat, no affection, please do not let your cows wander in the streets... What kind of place is this you may ask? Purgatory? No, it's Pushkar. Pushkar is an important place of pilgrimage for Hindus. However, I think it's a giant tourist trap for hippies (and I guess since I'm here non-hippies as well). For being a sacred pilgrimage to...

Well we haven't had a good chunk of time to spend on the Internet lately, so without further ado here has been what has been going on the last few days.. After leaving Mumbai we took a flight to Jaipur and then a bus to the Pushkar camel festival. Pushkar is a nice little oasis in the middle of the desert surrounded by some holy sites and a mill...

It was a looooooong drive with no one in the mood for it but finally reaching Pushkar about 2.30pm. Intrepid sure aren't silly. The first part of the trip was staying in average accommodation about what we expected, but with our last 3 accommodations of the tour they've pulled out all stops. Our final 2 nights were in the Jagat Palace Hotel, mar...

Everywhere in Delhi seems pretty much the same although I expected it to be busier, but maybe it's just because I've been travelling in Asia for a while and I'm used to the chaos? Yesterday, after our group meeting, was reasonably laid back and I have to admit to the McDonalds I had for lunch - although pizza puff and salsa wrap indian style isn...

The Holy City of Pushkar sits on the edge of the Rajistan desert. The town is small, and strung along a small packed street, filled with the usual indian sellers, cows, craftsmen, and the typical 'i want your money' gang. The place is a mecca for hippies and those who are trying to gain enlightenment by worshipping cows and red dust, and god fig...

India has proven to be quite the land of squatters. Every city seems to have its fair share of homeless sleeping in every dirty crevace. I am not sure wheather there are more stray cows and cow **** or homeless people; it seems there is a close tie. It is difficult to grow a tough skin and learn to ignore the people regardless of how they approa...
