Backpacking Rajasthan

Amidst the cool breeze, and the blanket of a starry night, I witnessed a heart-warming view of the glittering Udaipur palace.

The sand-colored fort shone like gold in a velvet backdrop of the night. I could finally feel the excitement of being in the heart of the Thar Desert now.

I had come to Rajasthan countless times before, but for the first time in twenty-six years, I felt a connection with this land.

A small town with a peaceful vibe, Pushkar is the hip destination among foreign backpackers in India.

Inside my head was a guy yelling that his wallet had been stolen. But hysteria had sucked my mouth so dry that in reality, no words actually came out of it.

No matter how big a fan you are of Quentin Tarantino, watching Hostel - I, II or III before embarking on a solo backpacking trip is the worst idea ever.
