In Pushkar

I have been travelling in Rajasthan, slower than I expected to and have reached Pushkar good two days later than I initially intended. Finally there is internet connection available with some decent speed, and I have some decent time in hand to use it. But I have been browsing for an hour or more mostly doing housekeeping and that means I need to spend an hour or two more today or tomorrow online, doing the actual research that I need to do.

Places covered so far:

Jaipur, of which I was pretty impressed of the places less known and came back unimpressed on the popular tourist trap.

Shekhawati, where buildings are painted with all sorts of color and peacocks stroll freely atop the Havelis.

My next destination is still unknown to me, and I intend to figure it out today or tomorrow. But most likely, it will be a choice between Jodhpur and Jaisalmer.

Rajasthan Calling..

Leaving for Rajasthan tonight!

And this is going to be one unplanned trip, like most of my travels are. I am just going to land up in Jaipur, and then start figuring out when and where to go next. But I do know that, among other things, I would like to spend some time in Pushkar, and a few days in the desert region(Bikaner, Jaisalmer, or somewhere else). I am also hoping that while I have gone that far, I get to spend time time in Kutch and watch the dance of the flamingos.

As usual, I seldom update from the road, but I do hope to make a post or two now and then briefing on anything interesting that I come across.
