Getting there . . .
My trip was way back in 2006. I went by train to Bhuj (I was living in Mumbai). And then the Hodko folk picked me up and transferred me to Hodko. I was curious whether the place still existed because it had started with outside grant money to the local communities. And the grant money was set to expire soon when I was there. So I did a search and found its still there, and seems to be stronger than ever, having bookings available through Nivalink. http://www.nivalink.com/shamesarhad/index.html

beautiful artwork
This post is amazing! I never knew this artwork and architecture existed in Cyprus. Gives it that much more culture. What was your favourite part? Will you be returning soon?

My time in the Gobi was a stop along the way on the Trans Mongolian train trip - Beijing to Moscow. So its sort of hard to price out separately. Sorry! It was an incredible corner of the world, well worth seeing!

How we booked
When we went, we did all of our arrangements through an Indian government entity, the Maydya Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation. I live in Mumbai and they had a local office - but I would bet you could get a lot of information about them on line as well . . .
