Trip 4 Day 5 Jaipur

-
After spending a vacation at home waking up late in the morning is becoming a habit. Which I need to change to give more time to travelling. 

A bed in the morning and that was enough. My community friend has a plan for me.

He told me not to miss Narahgarh Fort which I also wished to go but due to less time, I'd remove it from my checklist. His younger brother took me to Nahargarh Fort.

The palace inside the Fort was worth watching which has great paintings by old generation painters as well as new generation painters in their own style.

Craftwork can be seen here widely. Decoration at the fort was worthy except those stones which were lying down on verandah.

Kali Burji is a spot from Where one can see Jaipur city from any direction.

This Fort seems to be renovated many times which gives a message that how aware is Rajasthan government for their ruins places which can help them bring more Tourism.

At the entrance gate of Fort, a huge Bawli was constructed in the early days of Kingdom. This Bawli was deep and few scenes of Rang de Basanti have been shot here.

There was another Bowli which was located in front of the Palace. Seems to be older than the one outside.

I was riding so the important time I saved trekking up the Fort by bike which could end in exhaustion and time-taking as well.

While returning back to Malviya Nagar I have been driven to Sun Temple by my fellow traveller friend where Abhilash and friend Praveen met.

To the other side of the platue, there is the famous Monkey Temple which was overcrowded today due to Mahashivratri. Mahashivratri is the Hindu festival which is celebrated on the occasion of Lord Shiva marriage anniversary across India. While other days the temple is a lonely place to visit. Foreigners are charged ₹150/person. When I visited there were more humans that day than the monkey. The temple is located on a huge campus. Today it converted into human temple instead of monkey temple. There were several food stalls, bhang stalls for today organized by royal families for the local crowd. I took a jug of bhang to drink. It was an awesome experience being here. 

We left the place around 4 pm and reached a known shop of Abhilash to get the student id. Tripling on the bike(high risk-taking in Jaipur), while I was like a tomato between the two as a sandwich pissed. Reached his home had dinner and by 8 pm I left for Vaishali. Reached Hariom's house ate again and slept late at night.

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 ...
