Ambaji is a religious place. People from far off places come here to worship. But our stay in Ambaji was purely an economical decision. Hotel rates were ridiculously high in Mt. Abu. We did go to the temple later in the evening.

More Pics from Mt. Abu

Walk in the wild.

On day two in Udaipur we decide to visit Kumbalgarh and Ranakpur. They are more than 50 kms from Udaipur so we decide to take our car. We leave by 9 AM, feeling jittery by the thought of driving through the narrow lanes. But it required only one reverse. There seems to be some kind of tacit understanding amongst drivers.

Our friend here needs help, just as we touch the highway.
It seems royally confused Smile

Still confused.
