I have so many pending trips to write about, and on top of that, I'm lazy and travel so much. When there's a long gap in my travels, I feel like making a plan and going to become a "free soul."

I've brought back some more black and white photos from Jaisalmer, and I'm posting them thinking this post will go viral, every Hive user will upvote it, and I'll have lots of money. With that money, I'll

The beautiful state of Rajasthan, located in northern India and famous worldwide for its history and vibrant colors, is the subject of today's photos. These pictures are from Jaisalmer, a district in Rajasthan

I've been traveling around Rajasthan for many years, but I go to Jaisalmer every December. I stay there for a few days and then go to Longewala, where our country's brave soldiers won the 1971 war. Being

Writing from Kolkata, where I arrived on December 27... Sharing my last story about Pushkar, summarizing a month I spent in this unusual town in November-December 2025... 3$-a-Day Guesthouse Home sweet

Pushkar (I am still here!) and Ajmer are like a double star, two settlements near each other, but clearly not the same. The small lakeside town Pushkar is a Hindu holy town, while bigger Ajmer has sacred

My railroad journey in Rajasthan continues: I have been in Pushkar since November 19. Pushkar is the first truly touristy place on my way in Rajasthan. This means, before coming here, I had rarely met

The palace shown in the picture is the Taj Lake Palace, also known historically as Jag Niwas, set magnificently on an island in Lake Pichola, Udaipur. Its setting is distinctly magical: surrounded by the

It was such an idyllic day. I wandered into the unknown and discovered a beautiful natural park filled with colorful birds and langurs, with amazing views of a uniquely beautuful castle. The whole idea

My railroad voyage through Rajasthan continues: I am in Jodhpur! Actually, I arrived on November 4... but harsh flu from day 1 paused everything. Only on November 9, I got well enough for the first late

Night walks through Bikaner are hardly a pleasure. Once darkness falls, everything starts shutting down and empties out: rare pedestrians and motorbikes, metal shutters pulled down everywhere, heaps of

When I discovered frescoed havelis in Churu, I thought all of Rajasthan was like that - mansions with paintings on the walls. But in Bikaner, I found a completely different style - here the focus is on
