Few days in Udaipur



Udaipur - The city of Lakes

This city is built by Rana Udai Singh II . Rana Udai singh was on a pilgrimage with his son where he met a hermit Goswami Premgiriji while hunting in the ranges, who blessed him to built his palace at this place. So Rana Udai Singh decided to shift his capital from Chittorgarh to Udaipur. 

This city has multiple lakes and a glorious history.

Some must visit places in this city are :

The City Palace, Lake Pichola, Fateh Sagar Lake, Maharana Pratap Smarak,

City Palace, Udaipur - Wikipedia

 The City palace is a beautifully constructed and expanded building honestly covering the complete palace would take two days, so a part of the fort is dedicated to tourists. The entry ticket here is INR 300 per head. One half of the fort is reserved for the current  royal family of Maharana Arvind Singh ji, the current heir of the Maharanas and his family resides there.

 

Lake Pichola.

This lake is close to Karni mata Temple. You can visit the Karni mata temple via ropeway and then come down to Dudh Talai Lake which is connected to Lake Pichola. You can have a boat ride in Lake Pichola where you can see the Jag Mandir. If you are here in the evening you can view the beautiful sunset, and a splendid view of the City Palace.

My first Himalayan Trek

Image
  Buran Ghati 2019 - A trek that has it all This is a beautiful trek with breathtaking landscapes, valleys with knee deep snow. The Himalayan ranges are spread across throughout the trail, you will feel like you have entered a fairy tale. It surely fills your heart with enthusiasm and excitement. Like any other adventure enthusiast, I always wanted to do one Himalayan trek. So, without much thought and research when a friend asked me if I would like join her I immediately said yes. This was my first Himalayan trek. Although a detailed research would have helped me more, but as they say what is meant to be will be .  This trek is for experienced trekkers and NOT for beginners :P This is a 8 days trek from Shimla to Shimla.We reached Delhi from Mumbai had dinner at a restaurant in Delhi, and to my dismay, I forgot my trekking shoes (which I had borrowed from a friend) in the cab. Me and my fellow mates tried really hard to contact the cab driver but all our efforts failed.
