Rajasthan
Two trips across one state, written as two separate stories. Part 2 is live. Part 1 is brewing.
I didn’t plan Rajasthan as a two-part thing. It just worked out that way.
In 2024 I did Udaipur and Jaipur, the lake city and the pink one. The postcard version of Rajasthan: palaces, thalis, sunrises over Lake Pichola. I came back thinking I’d seen the state. I hadn’t.
In 2026 I went back for Pushkar, Bundi, and Ranthambore, timed so I’d be at the ghats of Pushkar Lake for Holi. Smaller towns, older streets, a tiger safari at the end. Less polished. Better.
Here’s the split: Part 1 is the 2024 leg. Part 2 is the 2026 one, the one I just got back from.
