This 5 day camping trail was to take us all the way to Ranakpur, on a route that would avoid main roads and so take us over 130km. Unfortunately, after 3 weeks of sunshine in Udaipur we w...

Now that's what I call an adventure!
A brave thing to do - and, despite the hazards of horse-riding, it seems safer than driving on India's roads! Great photos. And what a terrific way to see places like Kumbalgarh and Ranakpur.

I'd happily go back any time - by car.
