Rajasthan travels with Elise

---

While work at Seva Mandir was generally 6 days a week, we found time to explore in Udaipur and surrounding areas. Often we traveled with other interns, making a multicultural interesting bunch of people to travel with.

After I have finished 1 month work, Elise and I took 5 days to travel north and west of Udaipur, still within Rajasthan.

Our nightly fruit and vegetable shop
Half a dozen fruit and vegetable stalls set up each day about 4pm in front of our apartment building. The freshest stock!

Prakesh - our yoga teacher
We did yoga about once a week at a room in the old city. Prakesh was incredible flexible - and of indeterminate age.

Overlooking Udaipur

Fateh Sagar Lake
The second of the major lakes of Udaipur, and about 1km from Seva Mandir. A nice place for a walk, and a cold coffee at sunset.

Udaipur Solar Observatory is on the smallest of the 3 islands in the lake.

Street food tour by one of the local Seva Mandir interns
We ate from 5 street stalls the interns thought were the best in Udaipur - savory and sweet foods all wonderful.

Kumbhalgarh Fort
This 15th century fort has a 36km wall, the second longest in the world. The fort wall has never been breeched

Climbing the fort wall
Would that be a colonial with the hat and wool wrap?

Within the fort walls
Within the walls of the fort is the main fort building in the background, and multiple other temples and buildings.
