Our plan for our trip to Rajasthan

So here's what we're planning (Michael and I) for our 8 day trip to Rajasthan. We leave this Saturday and come back the following Sunday night. This was as dictated excitedly online in a gmail chat:

We leave in a plane on Sat from Kolkata to Jaipur, the capitol of Rajasthan (so the flights were cheapest) and a place we don't reallly care to visit.

We'll get there at 10am and kinda chill, check into our hotel, explore the city, and spend the night

Then the next day we'll either take a 2am train to Agara or a 6:10 am train to Agrara

it'll depend on how we feel

but we kind of want to get to Agara early to see the Taj Mahal before tourists get there, hence the 2am train

Then Sunday we'll chill at the Taj Mahal until like 11pm and then take an overnight train to JodhpurJodhpur is this really bustling cool city filled with old forts and peasant desert folk. Real city life in the desert.

We'll spend Monday there and then take an overnight train (11pm) to Jaislemer

Jaiselmer is the really fucking best, it's the whole reason i want to go to Rajasthan

Its a city in the middle of the desert filled with beautiful old forts and Raja palaces

it is compeltely in the Thar deserrt

and the culture there is seemingly unreal

So we'll get there at 5am on Tuesday and spend all day there and check into a hotel and spend the night

Then on Wednesday we're going to go on a Camel Safari!

And spend the night in the desert

in a tent

so then Thursday all day in Jaiselmer again

and then take a train in the afternoon back to Jodhpur

and then another train to Mt. Abu

Mt abu is this gorgeous lush town on a mountain with good teas and good places to eat etc

and cool jungles to explore

we thought it would be a nice way to end the whirlwind of a trip

ok so Friday we'll get to Mt abu at like noon and spend the day there and spend the night there in a hotel

Then on Saturday we'll spend another day there, and then at night take an overnight train back to Jaipur

then Sunday our flight out of Jaipur is at night

so we can explore the city or whatever until our flight has to leave

It's going to be sooo fucking crazy

needless to say we're telling lab that we're taking off Monday to recoup
