Arriving after a day on a train in Delhi at half past ten at night, greeted by the usual array of auto-rickshaw drivers asking inflated prices, the only thing I wanted was to relax in a comfortable hotel room. And Iād booked ahead as I always seem to do these days. In fact I think …

I had extremely good luck whilst in India this year, most of the places I stayed at were really good, and the KP Heritage Haveli in Jodhpur was no exception. In fact, this one was really special as it was a special building, in a busy part of a great city, with exceptional views of …

Hi Everyone! Time for a photographic post for you. Here are some images from the incredible camel safari in the Rajasthani desert I was lucky enough to do back in March! I rode atop Raja, a pretty big camel, along with a group of around 15 others. Enjoy! First Day - from Jaisalmer into the …
Jaisalmer is the city in the desert, where there is a huge fort (okay, thatās kinda standard for a town in Rajasthan), some interesting historic buildings (Havelis) and where people spring board into the Rajasthani Desert to take a camel safari. Also, there are a surprising number of shops dubbed āEnglish Beer and Wine Shop, …

Ahhh hello. Yes, the āhumbleā tuk-tuk. Iāve spent a fair bit of time in them in my travels. A lot of fun, or a lot of hassle? Or perhaps a bit of both. Iāve gone with ātuk-tukā, although in India I used to know then as an āautoā or indeed āauto-rickshawā. Iāve also heard the …
[Accommodation Review] Sometimes things look a lot better online. You turn up and it just doesnāt match the photo. Other times youāre told youāre getting an amazing deal but youāre not really. I ummmed and ahhhed about where I would stay in Jaipur. I was almost booked into a couple of places before, at the …
āOh noā¦. itās another post where Andrew bags out the Indian capital!ā ā I know thatās what youāre thinking. Andā¦ youāre absolutely right! Sorry, I wasnāt going to go against every opinion about the place Iāve ever expressed and surprise you with an ironic post about how much I secretly love Delhi. That would be, …
From the town in the desert to Rajasthanās Blue City, this trip on Indian Railways was perhaps not as memorable as others Iāve taken. Why? Well, I was asleep about five minutes after we left, the scenery was mostly arid, and Iād already done this 301km segment of rail before. Mind you ā I hadnāt …
Ahhh the Indian Train Journey! I am genuinely excited that I can properly recount a few journeys in India now. I took a number, all in relative comfort I should say, in my twelve days in India. This was the first major journey, nearly twelve hours across Rajasthan from the main Rajasthani city in Jaipur …
One of the towns famous in Rajasthan, and letās face it, there are many, is Pushkar. Itās a curious place, I visited it back in 1999 and again last month when I was back in India for the first time in fourteen years. And Iām not going to a whole article on the pros and …
