This morning left Udaipur for a 300KM (180 mi), 5-hour drive to Jodhpur where I am staying for just 1 night at the Hotel Ajit Bhawan Palace built in 1927 - another Heritage Hotel.
Top pic is main entrance to hotel - for other hotel pics see www.ajitbhawan.com/ then click Ajit Bhawan.
Bottom 2 pics are of 1 of many camel caravans I've seen the past few days on the major roads. This one had about 20 camels as well as goat,/donkey/sheep herds & many dogs moving with it. These people are nomadic & during the monsoon move their entire villages every 2-3 weeks.
Btw - in previous update I forgot to mention & some of you have reminded me that portions of the James Bond movie "Octopussy" were filmed in Udaipur. Several cafes/restaurants in Udaipur show the CD every night!
