Hi, Jodhpur not was sorry for the lack of updates here, the most amazing experience. Rhian for 2 days it ill was and there's not much, it go to the Fort except (the amazing!) We left it on a bus for Jaisalmer, 6 hours on a half decent coach who got as the trip more fully went on to the point of collapse bound! It was fun, buying fried snacks through the window to the guy to us of Enrique Inglesias (Enreek..) and pop music in the General chat. He was heading to Jaisalmer on a job for the Indian air force!
Nevertheless we came in to 4 pm and before we were even off the bus we were addressed always tuk tuk drivers and hoteliers, but we had not booked already decided overnight, but we were not to tell them the! Our hotel, the desert Moon, was only 10-minute walk from the city in a very quiet and we were welcomed by the host, who gave us a good room and a welcome Chai. We not hanging around the hotel a long time and decided to go for a walk in Jasialmer.
Jaisalmer is an oasis in the thar desert, 50 miles from Pakistan, it is surrounded on all sides by hundreds of wind turbines, with narrow streets a very old town, friendly people, lots of shops for Rhian in search and the heat is intense! It is a different heat, what we have seen so far, it is untergerührt 40 degrees but no pollution that makes it more tolerable in a strange way. Proper hot.
We went to the old sandstone Fort on the second day, it literally looks like a sandcastle. We went to the Fort Museum (student prices, good times!) and wandered around with our oh so cool audio guide headsets on. We were only there for a reason, the view from the top. And it was spectacular! We could absolutely miles to that below city saw us as small compared to what we have seen so far on the journey. on one side of the streets and Havelis (artfully built houses of the rich), the other, barren desert with only a few cows to break the view of sand.
We liked many here, very relaxed, no-one to noise (apart from the motorcycle rider in the center of the city continually honking). We one additional night stay arranged in a way, so that we... could Safari a camel experience!
Our hotel ran their own Safari trip, so for the hassle-free aspect, we went for it. A jeep drive to stop at Bara Bagh, the cemetery for the Mararajahs of the region for a quick look from the Sam sand dunes. We stopped at a small outpost and our camels, Laki and Michael Jackson, and their owners and our tour guide Ali. After a small battle to get them (they are massive!) we set dunes a hike through the desert on foot on dry land of scrub and sand. It was absolutely amazing! After 2 hours, we have our camp, where our driver had made Jeep camp beds and hot Chai for us. We settled down and just took in the incredible surroundings, where we us in had found! We had food, in pitch dark lol, and then down under night sleeping star for a Amzing charged no sound to disturb us,. I have never anywhere as quiet!
We came back in the morning and spent the day just chillen and our 14 hours (!) Bus travel to Udaipur for 3 quid booked! :) We are really starting to embedded in this journey was now, although our Hindi does not yet exist lol. There are still a hell of a long way!
Hope you all good
