Trip 4 Day 17 Chittorgarh

-
Finally I left for Chittorgarh which I was postponing from past two days. The railway station is 4km from Ashok road. I booked the rental bike , and to my surprise the biker received me 2 days ago from Gulaab baag. And he admitted by his own. I always prefer digital payment in order I carry as less paper money I can. The train was on platform no 3. Total vacant in day time to Chittaurgarh. One can complete his sleep. I took some biscuits, one samosa and a tea. It is my morning breakfast. A middle aged lady stepped up from next station, sat and a lot of chit chat with her. 12:30 was the time when I reached Chittaurgarh railway station. I am hungry now. It would be better if I submit my rucksack bag and leave for the Fort. Searching for cloackroom within railway station and I found. Surprisingly the ticket counter was the cloackroom more interestingly the ticket collector is operating cloackroom. On the window he was issuing tickets and on the other side he was instructing us to to ...

Trip 4 Day 16 Udaipur

-
A night before I was planning to leave for Chittorgarh by the early morning train. But denied the plan before sleeping and decided to stay one more day in Udaipur. When Digvijay woke up he told I missed my alarm. I already dismissed it before bed. All of a sudden he gets a call from his else brother who shown sign of reaching at the room soon. He conveyed this message to us and requested to all 3 of us to leave before 8 am.  Nobody was prepared for this. Tiago and Katrina left before me. I left for Gulaab Baag and thought to write blogs till date from where I left of Rajasthan trip. I walked through the streets reached Gulab Baag. It made me unproductive, I'd breakfast at the same shop. I entered Gulaab Baag and was looking for some content on Instagram. By 11 am I got a call from Digvijay to come back to the room. I asked him where I can have delicious aloo paratha. It is my lunch. Aloo paratha packs you for the rest of the day. I booked a rental bike and reached Ashok road. ...

Trip 4 Day 15 Kumbhalgarh

-
I woke up at 4:30 today. Earliest in past 6 months. I woke up the Tiago and Katrina. By 5 we left the place to the bus stand. It took half an hour to reach the bus stop. A tempo was tried to mislead us by telling to board into the bus from Chetak Circle(from where we came). The bus stand was inward and in dark it was not visible. When it is all board we stepped up and luckily got the seat. It was Digvijay idea to board into the first bus so as to give more time to Kumbhalgarh. These two people slept while I couldn't. The bus dropped us 7km before Kumbhalgarh at 7:30 am. There will be a different bus to Kumbhalgarh. While I wanted to have breakfast it is mandatory for me, but they're not interested. Though we all did. Later we board to a bus to Kumbhalgarh and then a kilometre walk to the fort. The atmosphere was chilled. These people were absurd. While I kept trying to talk to them but newton's third law failed. No reaction to talks. I had a sense of how the day will g...

Trip 4 Day 14 Udaipur

-
I reached Udaipur by 5 am stepped down from the bus at Chetak Chowk. Till last night I'd no confirm stay in Udaipur. Suddenly just before boarding to the bus, I got a call from a travelling community guy named Digvijay. He informed me to reach his place. If there would be no stay in Udaipur I'd have chosen hostel for a day only and leaving to another destination. I tried for hitchhiking early morning, but traffic was not that much and whosoever was passing through was not in the mood to stop. So I started walking to his place. The street lights were not switched on. I reached a point where I've to turn on the mobile torch to see the where the road heading towards. Finally, I reached his room, I called him and he came out to pick, the time is 5:30 by now. I was tired while on the journey. There is a total of three people in the big room now including his elder brother. I slept at the corner of the room.  Digvijay has already informed me about his departure from home 🏡 ...

Trip 4 Day 13 Jodhpur

-
I've to leave for Udaipur today. Mahesh Ji had to leave early today but changes in the plan so he will leave at 10 am. I prefer to train to travel from one city to another. There is no direct train between Jodhpur and Udaipur due to mountains. A community guy wanted to meet me before I leave for Udaipur. Goodbye from Mahesh and left to meet Adit. I booked a rental bike and reached Jalori gate, the rider was a bit late to come to receive me. From Jalori gate Adit picked me and drove me up to the hills to gate ho 2 of the Fort. From here I can see the blue city. Jodhpur is actually known for blue houses. But over the years people have painted other than blue. Again on government request, people are starting to paint it Blue. So I can see some blue houses. This boy is just 22 in numbers and he made me climb to the top of the hill with the rucksack bag. I was getting fumed over him for this activity. A person should think what a traveller goes through. This is the difference when ...

Trip 4 Day 12 Jodhpur

-
As usual, the train arrived half an hour early as per scheduled time. I stepped out of the railway station. I have to reach CAZRI a research centre where I'll meet my community friend. The road was straight to his home. Boarded into the bus and reached the circle. Barely 15 minutes of walk. I entered through the main gate and walked a half kilometre. Mahesh Ji came to receive me coz I was unable to locate his home from Google maps. Mahesh is an agriculture scientist. He has been to Jaisalmer and has a lot of information about Jaisalmer. I wish we could have met a few days back so that I could have got a good idea of Jaisalmer and could plan very well. Over tea, we discussed each other life, but the time is limited, Mahesh has to leave to work before 10 am. So did I. I am specifically here for Mehrangarh Fort. I have seen this only in pictures. I'm crazy about this Fort.  Mahesh Ji dropped me at the exit point, from there I started hitchhiking. I was being dropped at the ci...

Trip 4 Day 11 SAM dunes

-
I don't remember when did I wake up today, might be early. It is my checkout day from the hotel. By the night I've to leave for Jodhpur. Again I've no plans for Jaisalmer today. So I thought to visit the places within the city. Vacating room and walking down from the hotel I reached Gadisar lake which rarely a kilometre distance from my hotel. Gadisar is a beautiful lake situated on the outskirts of the city. Quick photos and was leaving for Patwon ki Haveli again walking distance. But I encountered with some ladies who were on streets singing and dancing all around for money collection on the festive occasion of Holi. They saw and hampering my way. Not allowing me to go further. I told them I'm a student and gave little amount in exchange of bigger currency. They returned back the rest. I took pictures with them but not the video they were resisting for this. Vloggers to maintain a proper distance. I barely have tea after I got sick before this trip and it was...
