My Rajasthan Trip

cristina25

Hola,
Two months before I visited India, It has been a great experience for me, I never forget the experience which I had in India, and now I want to share my experience with you. When I was planning to go India lots of people were telling me that India is a difficult country they scared me. I still remember my first day at New Delhi when I saw thousands and thousands of people were there at the airport (might be it was the busiest time of the airport). My travel agent told me that one of the representatives would be holding a board in my name. It took me couple of minutes to allocate him. Once we met his things got very easier. As we enter in the car the company person told me that the traffic rules are completely different from the European countries. As cows, dogs and other animals are in hurry to cross the road. So driver may push hard breaks some time (it is quite often).
I have been to New Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Pushkar, Samode and back to New Delhi. All the places that I have visited are the must see places of India. But the best place that I have visited is Samode. A fairy tale town. A very huge and beautiful palaces surrounded by a small town. The best thing was the room. My husband felt like a king and he made me feel like a queen.
If any one ask me to rate the destinations. For sure Samode is at number 01 position. Followed by Agra (02), Jaipur (03), Udaipur (04), Pushkar (05), Jodhpur (06) and New Delhi (07). I don’t think that you treat the destinations as I have ranked them, as my preference is a peaceful place. And I found the Samode most peaceful and beautiful. New Delhi was very crowed but the Rikshaw Ride in the old Delhi was one of the best experiences. I saw few of the old fashioned stretching machines while having the Rikshaw ride at Old Delhi.
I have chosen the best hotels at all the destination. And I must say all hotels are worthwhile and made our India trip a tour of lifetime. The hotels that I have selected for my tour was Taj Palace at New Delhi, Amar Vilas at Agra, Counrty Inn & suites at Jaipur, Fateh Parkash Palace at Udaipur, Taj Hari Mahal at Jodhpur, Pushkat Palace at Pushkar, and Samode Palace at Samode.
If you need any information you may contact me through my email. As I really want share my experience with all the people. My email address is cristinaluz25@hotmail.com

If you rated according to peacefully, why you rated Jaipur n.3?? I found it very crowded, Udaipur is far better. not so peaceful but better than Jaipur anyway,

in general I agree with you about Rajasthan

Hi Cristina,

Congratulations for your trip and welcome to the old/new/renovated IM.

Your rank is OK, but Agra doesn't seems to be a peaceful place, anyway is something very personal. If interested in peaceful places in India go south or even to Madhya Pradesh you'll find India as it was few decades ago. The only problem sometimes is to find so nice palaces/hotels in some of the destinations.
All the best

Jorge

Sniff. You only rated Pushkar a 5?

My thoughts exactly. I hated Agra, my eyes burned from pollution and the touts were extreme in agression. It was my least favorite place in India and Pushkar is almost my fav...the roses that surrounded the town, the hills with the lights shining in the nights, It almost (almost ok) feels like the Napa valley at moments in appearance and that made me feel right at home.

Anyway, thanks for sharing your experiences with us. Where is Samode? I must have missed it...., enquiring minds want to know

On the road

I did some research on Samode and all that I find is a beauitful palace which offers accommadations. But, what goes on in Samode and what do you do while there?

Is it a stop just to chill and unwind?

Thanks, I'd love to hear more as I'm considering fitting it in on my upcoming trip.

Hi Cristina,
The most important thing in your travel is hotels. You stay in very good hotels in most of the places and it play very important role in any travel in India.
If you sleep in very nice, clean, good level hotel you feel very good all the day.

Hi Cristina,

Welcome to IM! By the way, we've just launched the ability for users to have their own journals. Maybe you can start your own journal and we can all read about your experiences there.

I guess every person has his own perceptions of what is a beautiful place. It is not only monuments that may make a place beautiful or lovely to stay in and it could be the way people behave and treat you as well as the things you may be interested in seeing or experiencing in the place.

It would be nice if you could make a journal entry in our new Journals section as well so that it will be seen and read in the right perspective.

Nice to read about your experiences and wish you have many more good ones out here in India and wherever else you may travel.

Cheers,
Aadil.
