Trip in Rajasthan

The next 3 months will be illustrated by Rajasthan pictures on my photoblog!! http://indiansamouraipics.hautetfort.com/ 

Below is the map of what I have done with my parents in August (10 days for me, 2 weeks for them).

A nice trip for a very impressive “country”!!

We had a few rains, just not to forget it is monsoon time… Not much, just enough to see lakes that had been empty for decades!
