Kota and Kumbhalgargh, Ranakpur & Udaipur

Another day another blog...
One and a half hours by train to Kota, not much here apart from the charming man made lake and temple. Only here to catch the bus to Udaipur.. Last pic of our fantastic cabin in Rathambhore...




Kota lake and Palace




Kota, another palace (which we were not allowed in to) .
The 6 hour bus from Kota to Udaipure took 11 hours, we were a tad knackered when we finally arrived so we treated ourselves to a couple of nights of 2 star luxury, hot water clean room and towels...

Udaipur Lake Palace Hotel only $1500 a night or a mere $450 without a lake view..
