Looking for Jodhpurs

Monday 11/03/2019 Richie

After nine days in Pushkar I was looking for some adventure so I decided to head off to Jodhpur. Last time I was there was 8 years previously on my birthday. Jodhpur is a lovely busy town with plenty to do and see.

Watch the video of my trip to Jodhpur

The first day in Jodhpur looking around

Found this Locksmith who has one of the tiniest shops ever

If you eat meat you should be prepared to kill it, or at least see how it is killed, not nice but real

Last day in Jodhpur before heading off to Bikaner

I also managed to do another 29 year photo gap….

Same barber same shop same me, well almost.

Trains Travel Chittagorh to Udaipur

Saturday 09/03/2019 Richie

So leaving Bundi behind me I did a hard days travel to Udaipur via Chittagorh. Chittagorh has the biggest fort in Rajasthan, at least by surface area. So I had to take a quick look at it as the last time I was there was 29 years ago on my first trip to India with Nadette. Not much has changed except that now there is a whole industry of Indian travellers where as before no body was here.

Watch the day I had in the video below

After Chittagorh on to another train and Udaipur, also 29 years since I was last here and the town where a lot of the film Octopussy was shot.

Watch a 60 second film of Udaipur here

In Udaipur I became friendly with Raju, he runs a chai stall and food stand, really nice guy so I put together a small film for him. He was so happy he invited me back in the evening to drink some whisky with him. I had a train the next day at 6AM so up at 5 was a bit of a shock to the head….
