Mumbai - Delhi part IV: More Beautiful Rajasthan

What an imposing fort looking over Jodhpur, we liked it very much. The Bazar near the clocktower, the moonlight diner on a tempel-rooftop, the palace and the view from the fort over Jodphur and the blue city. From here we cycled to Barr, there is a…

Mumbai - Delhi part III: Rajasthan

We had our breakfast on the rooftop of the hotel, with a beatiful view over Halol. Most of the kitchenstaff were still asleep (on the rooftop). Before we started cycling we took a auto-rickshaw to Champaner only 3 km away. This is a very old city wi…

Mumbi - Delhi part II: quiet nature to busy industry

We left Nashik to go to Saputara hill station. Nashik was nice city, there was a modern part with lots of big shops and restaurants and an old part with a river and lots of temples. We learned that it is a very special place for religious reasons. After we left the city we cycled through grass land with a lot of agriculture. A lot of vinyards but most grapes were grown for raisins and not for wine. Also a lot of big lakes probably for storing water for all the agriculture. It was a very nice and… Continue

Mumai-Delhi part I: Getting in and out of mumbai

We arrived on mumbai airport at 00.45 on the 15 of december. We had made reservations for a hotel with pick-up service via the internet.

The firts impression when you get out of the airport are overwhelming, the noise, the people, the heat and most important the smell. Your firts sniff of india has it all: spices, flowers, food, people (but also some waste and sewage)… Continue
