Udaipur - Jodhpur (day 9)

This morning we left to Ranakpur after the delicious breakfast to visit a Jain temple. This was beautiful. The domes and pillars were full with all kind of details. After seeing this we continued our way to a restaurant to have some lunch. After finishing our lunch we continued to Jodhpur. On our way we stopped several times, to enjoy the view from a mountain road. But also because we encountered (a lot of) wild monkeys. We also stopped at a riverbank that we just crossed to look at the fishes swimming. Untill we saw a cobra swimming and gasping for air, unfortunately I was too late to take a photo! We also encountered a turtle crossing the road on our way. The driver picked it up to release it later at a lake. Furthermore we saw a caravan of camels (belonging to nomads) and huge herds of sheep and goats walking along the road (belonging to farmers).

Upon arrival at our hotel in Jodhpur we immediately jumped in the swimming pool to cool down. After freshing up, we went for diner in the hotel restaurant with live (Indian!) music. There was nothing wrong with it, in fact it sound very pure. Finally, after dinner we took a tuktuk to the gate of the old city. After taking some photos, including from the bell tower  which is nicely enlighted in the dark, we took the same tuktuk back to the hotel. Tomorrow we have a complete schedule in the old city of Jodhpur. After that we continue to Jaisalmer. This city is located in the desert and this is where we'll go camel riding. You read more about this plus all other activities of the day tomorrow! 🙂
