India

We start the day with a short visit at Amer Stepwell a beautiful stepwell next to the Amber Palace

We end the day at the City Palace the former and current home of Jaipur maharajahs and opened partially now as a museum

Jantar Mantar was built in the 18th century and is an impressive assembly of stone-built astronomical instruments

The Palace of the Winds has a beautifully intricate exterior and was used by the royal ladies to observe the streets without being seen

Our first safari in India starts at a very early hour from Sariska Tehla Gate looking for tigers and other mammals

Our last attraction for today is Bhangarh which is locally known as the haunted castle and cannot be visited at night due to ghosts

During our birdwatching trip we stop also at Neelkanth Temple complex which is comprised of multiple temples most of them destroyed centuries ago

With a bit of difficulty we arrange a birdwatching tour near Sariska exploring the forest and a small lake with a local guide

The drive to Sariska area is quite interesting both on highways and country roads arriving at our lodge overlooking an almost dry lake

Our major stop today is at Qutub Minar a beautiful World Heritage Site with a famous minaret and a rust resistant Iron Pillar
