Udipur

my favorite Udipur.  a romantic picturesque friendly special city. everyone had their motor bikes. Looking for coffee which was always my job. Good coffee here and lots of coffee shops. Govindas
everyday next to the Palace. Met Sam who turned me on to everything. A great girl who had lived there for years and had driven her bike to Leh.
She hooked me up with Johan who had a great room for rent ($5.00) and gave me cooking classes everyday. He enjoyed it and made money too!
In the morning at 7:45 the girls choir
would sing for 15 minutes at the all girls school next door.
Always Hindu ceremonies. Nightly dancing and music performance.
I had my guys at the book stores.
beautiful sunsets on the lake.  People were happy and loved their town. Still had its charm.










bus to jadpur

I liked Jodpur. Whole street of antique door frames $750 and they send it to you. Antique saris on the square, great Lassi cook special candy great market
good vibe rooftop meals with the fort lit
up blue city marble palace nice room.

Varinessi

staying at temple on the Ganges. eating at Aum restaurant and drinking coffee at the hand. At night down to the pizza restaurant at ghassi ghat. So many bodies being carried Around

Pushkar

oI met a couple of girls from Australia and joined them in a car to Pushkar where they have the famous camel fair. I stayed at dream heaven (out of my budget $18
for 2 nights. Here are some pics. Roses
all over the hotel with a great smell.
Marble floors and great service. They had good veggie menu. move across for half the price. Shiva dropped a lotus flower and it became a lake. people families towns villages come in their native clothes and really fun to watch. Never a dull minute in this town.
met a great girl from Gurirut and her mother and another Spanish single traveler went went on a adventure on the
country to see a holyman.
great place!
