Jaipur and Pushkar - Incredible Tour To India

Mar, 2017

I’m not an easy to please customer as I don’t like to stay on the beaten track.
In other words, if you want to be my guide, you don’t get away with offering me the typical touristic tours.
Ganpat came to me on a forum and I decided to give him a chance.
Well, I must say I was very happy during the days he guided me.
In Jaipur we celebrated Holi in his neighbourhood and he invited me at a Hindu-Anglo wedding.
I also allowed him to show me the touristice attractions.
Then we went on to Pushkar.
On the way to Pushkar we visited his family an the family of his wife. We also had a few great strolls through the villages far away from the mass tourism.
This way I could experience the India I was used to and I enjoyed the hospitality of the Indian rural people.
Arrived In Pushkar (in the late afternoon), we first went to the Brahma temple and I got the chance to participate in an Aarti.
The next morning we went to a red temple (I can’t remember the name) where we were all alone and we got surrounded by about 40 langurs.
This was not for the weak hearted as suddenly it looked like they would charge at us.
Nothing was less true
