Yes, I sped off after Chiloda and was at 130+ most of the time, since the road was brilliant. I have more and more pics coming up. I feel the best pic (according to me) is yet to come  ! Let the suspense remain! | |

| Team-BHP Support   | CL, Great photos as usual. Udaipur reminds of times I spent in Rajasthan (not in Udaipur though). But the state was just amazing for the simplicity of the people (The touts discounted  ) and the FOOOOD.......... Those were amazing 13 years in that state for me! Not sure if folks know, there is something called the "Pyaaz Ki Kachori" or the Onion Kachori, which is very famous in those parts of the country. I have seen the transformation from 60 Paise per piece to 10 Rs per piece ! But the quality still holds as the Kachori melts in your mouth... Did you try on them ? PS: I am a Veggie. So cannot comment on Non-Veg food. |

This applies to Great Experiences too...they last for a moment only. Look at the positive side. You were at the right time to capture those moments. | |

| BHPian  | Nice photos of the fireworks. Well taken as they will hardly last a few seconds.  Makes me want to visit Udaipur as well. Hopefully the dream will be fulfilled in the near future. Meanwhile, we can see the city through this travelogue. |

I am not joking when I say that the best is 'yet to come'! I will be posting many more pics today. Let me know which one is the best!! I am really confused about which pic to post and which one not to! I have a big problem in hand! Quote:
I am sure lots of readers will be tempted to visit Udaipur, by the time I finish posting today's pics!!! Quote:
As a matter of fact, we did not try any local favourites this time, due to some past experiences! We had a terrible time in Ooty because of food poisoning, when we were about to return to Pune! So we played safe! Quote:

Can you imagine, even local restaurants in Udaipur used to add 14% tax to the total food bill??? I was utterly shocked when I saw my first food bill! The tax amount came to Rs. 80 odd! In those palace hotels, sandwiches cost Rs. 500 + taxes and water will be Rs. 200 + taxes. So would you want to cross the lake all the time to have normal food from restaurants outside? And yes, Tandoori Chicken will cost just Rs. 1800 odd! Now you can do the math!!! @ A Mukherji, thanks a lot for your kind words. I am so happy to read comments from an avid reader like you! Did you read my Bhutan travelogue? That travelogue was my best till date! I was really down with cough and throat infection and the only way I could drive, was after having some lozenges, to put out the fire in my throat!! I think it is time I visit a Homeo doctor! | |||||

| Senior - BHPian | Day 4 – Our 6th Wedding Anniversary.... Day 4 – Our 6th Wedding Anniversary We woke up by 11 am on the 10th of January, which was also our sixth wedding anniversary. We wished each other and were so happy that we were in such a beautiful place to celebrate our anniversary. We decided to visit Gulab Bagh, originally named as Sajjan Niwas Garden, that day. It was built in the 1850s by Maharana Sajjan Singh. The garden is spread over 100 acres of land and there is a library inside the garden, which was constructed by Maharana Fateh Singh. The Library is known as Saraswati Bhawan Library. It has a priceless collection of books related to history, archaeology, Indology and several manuscripts that date back to the early medieval period. The Udaipur Zoo is also located inside Gulab Bagh. We had some sandwiches from Barista and went inside the park by 2 pm. The park was very beautiful.          But we were disappointed after seeing the zoo. Photography was very difficult because of the wire mesh covered cages! I had to try all tricks in the book to avoid focusing the wire mesh. The result is just satisfactory!                    Later we understood why the animals and birds were so well protected! We saw a stupid lady poke a poor Rose Pelican with a twig. The poor birdie was really upset and was screaming with all her might. I felt so disgusted seeing that woman's brainless, idiotic smile! She deserves to be inside the cage!
