Many guidebooks on Eastern countries are recommended with ancient oriental culture to get acquainted in Rajasthan. Having decided in May 2007 to check the Council, I fell into Udaipur with a girlfriend, where residents of the district send fans of historical tourism. Girlfriend, swallowing with local, quickly threw two routes. An option for lazy Extremals began with an inspection of wall painting, which is famous for the Venice of the East.
Continued by campaigns on the national cafe. We, Myathers and Supporters of Fresh Food, were disappointed. All ample, salty, sharp. One of the cooks proudly admitted to us that some dishes put up to 30 spicy blends. Food is only vegetarian. Traditional menu: Bhujia (Curry Vegetables), Dosa (rice cakes), bean soups, samba (stuffed by pickled vegetables), Raita (seasoned with mint yogurt with grated cucumber) and Dhai. The latter represents something like our prostrip. Tasty, perfectly thirst quenched. Saw liters.
Completed to participate in the festival of flowers, which just fell on the middle of our stay in Udaipur. Three days the people in the wreaths (by the way, they were not only ladies, but also gentlemen) having fun, sang, danced. The city turned into a living flower leaf, over which the sounds of folklore compositions were constantly worn. Jung began, pearls and camel fairs opened.
Further went to the week of active extreme. Signed on the courses on riding on elephants. I had fun in 250 rupees / hour (I chose a lesson in the group), a friend who did not want to cheer people - in 350 rupees. Nobody laughed at me either, although the spectacle was probably a comical one. A couple of days of humorous shame, but calmly went on giants around the surroundings and even participated in Safari. I confess, spoke in the tail. By the way, to elephants here are especially: people are not allowed everywhere everywhere, there are no prohibitions for them.
We did not have time to manage camel management courses. We did not have time. Very manifeed the local cycling tours, organized walks for novice climbers. Rental points of Greats are a bit, but the cars are in good condition, the routes are all approved, independent. In the mountains of Guests, Udaipura will lead experienced instructors, quickly evaluating the level of training "travelers", deftly providing first aid. No danger, and the view is behind the sweat and effort.
A hike to bazaars bar and babe for us was no less sporty entertainment. It is not surprising, after all, we lived in the bungalow, located near Dabuk Airport, and completely depended on the transport. And it was not lucky with him: buses broke, free Rickshaws did not meet, taxi drivers called inconspile prices. As a result, most of the way was done on their own two. Reward - ethnic decorations from seashells, bells. I call them when I dream of ancient India.
