Eshansthan: My 9 days of Rajasthan

Areas covered: Udaipur, Jodhpur, Thar Desert, Jaisalmer, Jaipur

Duration: 14th - 22nd October, 2017

Snapshot of the trip:

Total cost incurred: This being a solo trip and the cash outflow being too frequent, it was just impossible for me to keep a tab on my expenses. But I would say that the entire trip costed me around Rs. 40,000 (inclusive of a major f*ck up that I shall talk about subsequently)

8 Hours in Jaipur. Summed Up.

Areas Covered: Jaipur (6/10/2017)

So unlike the 5 times in the past when I visited Rajasthan which were planned to cover a number of locations, this wasn't one of those. This was actually a trip for business that left me time to explore the beautiful city again...........

My 1.5 days of Delhi

The trashiest Google search result that I have ever seen in my life is - 'things to see in Moradabad'. Well, I was visiting my native town Moradabad and wanted to explore the city (or other nearby places). The options I had were Haridwar, Lansdowne, Rishikesh and Delhi. However, Delhi......
