    India Safari Holiday Tours: A Complete Guide to India’s Wild Side

    India's wildlife is not the wide-open savannah of Africa, and that is exactly what makes it so fascinating. Here, a safari can take you through sal forests, dry grasslands, bamboo thickets and wetlands where a tiger may appear without warning. For travellers planning an India safari holiday, the experience is about far more than spotting a Bengal tiger. It can include leopards, sloth bears, wild dogs, crocodiles, hundreds of bird species and the landscapes and communities that surround […]

  7. View over Jaipur from Hawa Mahal, Rajasthan

  8. #Jaipur was my last stop in #Rajasthan. A city packed with highlights like the Hawa Mahal, Amber Fort and the Monkey Temple. But it was also the most chaotic city I visited in the region.

    There’s a lot to see in Jaipur, and architecturally it’s impressive, but walking around the city exhausted me. Endless traffic, noise, crowds and trash everywhere. After a few days, I felt pretty overwhelmed.

    #TravelBloggersCommunity #travel #travelblogger

  9. Next city, #Jodhpur ended up being one of the cities that really drew me in while traveling through #Rajasthan

    The old town and its market feel like a step back in time, chaotic, colorful and full of life at every corner

    Then there’s the Blue City itself, with houses climbing up the hills and giving Jodhpur that unique look.

    And above it all, the massive Mehrangarh Fort dominating the skyline, impossible to ignore and even better once you’re inside.

  10. Just arrived in #Rajasthan, starting with #Udaipur, the famous City of Lakes. And I have to say, I liked it more than I expected

    It’s not just the lakes and the surrounding hills, or even the old town

    There’s something about the whole setting that makes it a really enjoyable place to explore

    But the highlight is the City Palace, massive, one of the biggest in #India (up there with #Mysore). Endless rooms, intricate details, and some great views over the lake.

  11. Parts of Ranakpur Jain Temple interior were lit by the direct afternoon sunbeams, when I was there. And I was hunting for the spots where fragments of carvings were in the light contrasting with much darker surrounding.

    And yes, it is one of my favourite places among many jewels of #Rajasthan in #India.

  22. Unbelievable (well, unless you watch #IPL regularly) win by Rajasthan Royals over Gujarat TItans just witnessed. Royals were 4 for 2 after 3 overs and I'd foolishly written them off after 12. What do I know? Absolutely love Indian Premier League #cricket.
