Climb the Elephant Hill in Narlai
A must do, is to climb the huge hill located in Narlai to see the amazing view and big white elephant statue on top. Do this early in the morning together with a tour guide and experience the sunrise and colors that will take your breath away. Our tour guide from the hotel brought some warm Masala Chai tea to drink up at the top together with some fresh baked cookies: so nice!
The national flower of India is the Lotus, however you'll find this colorful orange Marigold in every temple and on every corner.
When in Delhi visit one of the biggest Sikh temples named Gurudwara Bangla Sahib and bring some flowers to give to the gods.
During a safari ride we visited the home of this woman and she offered us Opium as a welcoming gesture.
We of course said yes, we didn't want to be rude ;).
The best drink on a warm sunny day: A King Fisher
King Fisher is the national beer of India.
When in Delhi take a rickshaw ride through the Chandi Chowk marketplace and experience the bussy bustling of people, food and products.
Visit the Abhaneri water well when driving to Jaipur.
The well was originally invented to harvest the rain water to drink water during parched times of the year.
Rent a boat and take a ride on the Lake Pichola in Udaipur, preferably during the late evening when the sun is just about to set.
