A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
If you’re an art lover or have an interest in architecture and history, the Shekhawati region of Rajasthan is a must-visit destination to include in your travel plans. Located within the triangle formed by Delhi, Jaipur, and Bikaner, this region is often overlooked in favor of more famous destinations in Rajasthan. Nonetheless, it is uniquely renowned as the world’s largest open-air art gallery.
Want to escape the commercialization and commotion of the tourist trail in Rajasthan for a while? The peaceful town of Bundi, in the Hadoti region of Rajasthan, is usually overlooked by visitors in favor of the state’s more iconic destinations. However, the town can easily be reached in about three hours from Jaipur via National Highway 52 and is an ideal stopover if traveling to Udaipur. Like most places in Rajasthan, Bundi has a regal heritage. Notably, it captivated and inspired Nobel Prize laureates Rabindranath Tagore and Sir Rudyard Kipling (author of “The Jungle Book”), and Oscar-winning filmmaker Satyajit Ray.
There are enough things to do in Bundi to keep you occupied for a couple of days at least. Here’s our pick of them.
Bikaner may be known for its camel safaris and impressive fort in the state of Rajasthan, but it is its unique temple in the town of Deshnok that attracted us to the area. The Karni Mata Rat Temple just may be the freakiest attraction we’ve ever been to.
We awoke bright and early to catch our desert safari tour in Jaisalmer, feeling excited to be on our way. A camel safari in Rajasthan was a significant item on our list of adventures that we wanted to experience in India.
