Trip 4 Day 4 Jaipur

-
Learning from the previous day I'm not going to repeat the same. Today I planned to visit at least two forts here one is Amer and another is Jaigarh.

Keeping this in mind I left home at sharp 11 in the morning. Walking down the road I got a Bus from Karni Palace to Ajmeri gate on time.

On Ajmeri Gate I interchanged a private bus whose fair is equal to govt AC Bus(I don't know why). From there it took me almost an hour to reach Amer fort. 

I was delighted to see that fort. It was a mesmerizing view.

Reached at 1 pm to the fort, I headed towards Amber Palace where Sheesh Mahal lies. After visiting Amer fort I rested for few minutes and decided to go at the top of the fort(which actually was another fort).

Following the path and people, I reached Jaigarh Fort where the entrance fee was ₹79 for Indian adult.

I sat down for a while and for once I thought whether should I continue or go back. But I chose to go inside and see the entire structure of the fort. And my decision was right. 

As I proceeded further I saw how the fort was made impenetrable. A barrier which no enemy can go through it.

The design and the construction for soldiers. World's biggest cannon is installed here which is of 50 tonnes dragged by elephants and only once it has been used that too while testing.

It has a range of 35km. When it was fired the cannonball hit the ground due to which a huge pond was constructed. The cannonball itself was of 100 tonnes. 

To be true I've never seen a Fort like this before. Jaigarh Fort huge space and special complex for Queens.

It took me 4 hours to roam around both forts together. Amazing experience. Also, it is the third-largest wall after the Great Wall of China and 56 km wall.

There are many steps walks up and get a great look of Amer Fort from the front. It was exhausting while going up always. On the other hand, it was a fabulous view giving a feeling of as I'm watching any city in Europe.

Clicked some pictures met two travellers from Kerela Adil and Mushi.

Came down by 6:30, again Bus issue but I got the last bus from Amer Fort to Hawa Mahal. Today I've to meet another travel from the community.

He not only came to pick me up from Malviya Nagar also he let me do sightseeing on his bike places like Sun Temple, Birla Temple.

I stayed with him tonight had a cup of tea followed by dinner. Earlier my plans were to leave to Pushkar next morning but plan changes while travelling.

Trip 4 Day 7 Nal

I reached before the arrival time that is at 9. Nowadays Indian Railways trains arrive very early at stations which never happened before and then they wait. My host was not decided yet coz I was bit confused as one was on the outskirts in a remote area while other was just next to Junagadh Fort. But personally, I want to spend some time in the village. As to attain peace, calmness. And the other host was like giving free stay and discounts on other stuff. I was on a trip to show people how can I travel in lesser. So, as usual, I started asking for hitchhiking. I decided to go Nal, to be true Today I was not having a single penny in my pocket neither I was interested to withdraw from any ATM. And from station to Nal at least I successfully stopped 5 bikes and reached. Here I was lost while finding the home of my community fried and then he came out on rescue to search me out with his daughter and found me.  I thought I can visit the fort and other things but plan changed a...

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...

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 ...
