We recently saw an amazing documentary on India and they also had the SAME staircase in it. If you ever go - do not hesitate to go the extra mile (or 2;) to Jaisalmer...Sanket Vyashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410998671085464946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30368338.post-14302924241795950262009-04-07T16:11:00.000-05:002009-04-07T16:11:00.000-05:00Hello Sanket bhai, just wanted to comment on the p...Hello Sanket bhai, just wanted to comment on the photo of the staircase. It is actually from Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur. I have photographed that exact staircase as well. Rajasthan is an amazing place and my heart truly belongs to it. I am working right now and am not supposed to be surfing, but I am def. bookmarking this site and coming back later to read everything. Thanks for sharing!!

The guy who penned the article obviously knew his stuff but it still boggles my mind that he wrote what he did. But to each his own - I returned the 'Rough Guide to India' because it didn't have a chapter on my home state of Gujarat!<BR/><BR/>DG - Thanks for the kind words on the pics, Nilong certainly has a great eye but even she admits that it's hard to take a bad picture in India ;) Your itinerary is a sound one and a great introduction to India. I have been back 6 times and this marked the first time to Jaisalmer for me. However if there is any way to visit it instead of Jaipur, try. Jaipur is wonderful but you will get all that it offers and more (the fort, camel rides in the desert, little crowds) in magical Jaisalmer.Sanket Vyashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410998671085464946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30368338.post-55129403890885353892007-04-03T09:34:00.000-05:002007-04-03T09:34:00.000-05:00Beautiful, beautiful pictures...

I plan to visit India later this year, but because it's going to be a very short trip (we can't get much time off work), my friend and I are thinking of limiting our visit to Mumbai, Delhi, Jaipur and Agra (a package deal for the touristy 'Golden Triangle', plus Mumbai). So our taste of Rajasthan will be limited to Jaipur. Sigh... I might have to wait for the next trip to see Jaisalmer...Daddy's Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14679564351145843434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30368338.post-88846114009242066782007-04-03T07:04:00.000-05:002007-04-03T07:04:00.000-05:00Lovely pictures, Sanket.

I am eager to compare that to the real thing. When I finally do travel to India (later this year? who knows?) I don't plan to skip Rajasthan, whatever the Times may recommend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30368338.post-17779580491999037402007-04-03T07:02:00.000-05:002007-04-03T07:02:00.000-05:00Those pictures are beautiful...I remember visiting...Those pictures are beautiful...I remember visiting Rajasthan twice, one of the best family vacation I ever had....thanks for the tracks!
