It's girl scout cookie season and those delicious damn things are everywhere

Part 3: Ranthambore

















We went to at the amazing Aman-I-Khas, located in the Ranthambore Tiger Reserve. The hotel consists of luxury equipped tents; a truly indulgent way to experience nature. We ate all our meals there which were oh so good as they grow everything in their organic garden. We went on two safaris in the reserve and spotted lots of animals including deer, owls, monkeys, boars and last not but least a prized tiger in the bushes.

Part 2:Udaipur
















From Mumbai we flew to Udaipur, in the state of Rajasthan. We stayed at Udaivilias, the most gorgeous hotel located on the lake. The propertis is lush with bougainvillea and the sun sparkles in the lake's reflection. We took a boat over to the Lake Palace, a palace in the middle of a lake built in 1743 that now operates as a hotel. The next day we went to visit a Hindu temple in town and then to the City Palace, built by the Maharana Udai Mirza Singh in 1559, where we meandered through tiny hallways into beautifully decorated rooms each decorated in a completely different way. Our last day was spent driving through the country to Kumbhalgarh fort, where monkeys run a monk the ancient fortress. We had an amazing lunch of chicken, naan and saffron kheer at the Aodhi Hotel. In the afternoon we visited the amazing Jain temple, made of intricately carved marble.
