Yes, every bit has been enjoyable and every piece of information is quite exhaustive!

vkochar · 31st March 2008, 11:31

Thanks Susan !!! I would put more information and pics soon. Clicked more than 400 pics.

moralfibre · 31st March 2008, 11:46

Nice travelogue vkochar. Loved the pics of the vintage cars. You got more?

gd1418 · 31st March 2008, 14:03

Hi Varun,

Fantastic travelogue of your visit to Jodhpur (my sasuraal) and Udaipur with some great pics. Your mentions about your love for food makes you a foodie and the waist size shows too..

BTW, I was looking for some mention of Daal Bhati & Choorma, Laal Maans etc. It seems you did not have these specialities of Rajasthan. And if the food isn't spicy then 'khaane ka kya mazaa'..?

Couldn't agree more. Life mein mirchi nahin toh mazaa nahin aata.

Thanks GD Bhai !! Waist Size hi to problem hai

Daal Baati Choorma to khaya But this time gave Laal Maans a miss because of the weather. It was a little hot and I have problems eating mutton in summers.

I love spicy food myself !!

normally_crazy · 31st March 2008, 17:50

Loved the pictures. The coffee place and roof tops - nice.

CorsaLove · 1st April 2008, 20:07

Nice pictures Varun!! Awesome travelogue.

I also stayed at the Mewar Haveli in October last year..It was really great. I agree with you.. Harish there can arrange anything and everything for you. And the rooms are sheer superb.

Very eager to see some more pictures though!!

vkochar · 2nd April 2008, 12:14

Thanks Gautam !!!

@CorsaLove - Thanks for the comments !! Yes, the Mewar Haveli is indeed a wonderful place to stay.

Spending more money at a bigger place is always a safer bet, but even budget hotels sometimes give you maximum bang for your buck which these bigger hotels never do in present day scenarios ( Read Taj @ 30,000 + & Oberois @ 35,000 + !!! ). Sheer rip-off's I feel IMHO.

I will post more pics soon. Cheers !!
