Babas and Boats in Holy Varanasi - March 21-26 2015

In Varanasi formerly known as Benares we met our good friend from home Ronen who also happens to be a talented photographer (he photographed our wedding!) currently on a photographic journey in India, driving across the nation in his own funky van!  Do yourself a favor and check out his truly wonderful photos here.

Sexy Temple Heaven in Khajuraho - March 18-25 2015

Khajuraho is home to a famous group of impressive temples which are one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites, their fame mostly due to the erotic carvings featured on some of them, and they are often referred to as the  "Kamasutra temples". Due to their remote location in the state of Madhya Pradesh, these unique temples survived the many Muslim dynasties that ruled in the area and desecrated many Jain and Hindu temples over the years.

The Two Laid-Back Towns of Pushkar and Bundi - March 10-17 2015

We started our journey to Bundi with a local bus (190 Rs, 4 hours ) from Udaipur bus station that dropped us off at Beejoliya junction where we hitchhiked on the back of a pickup truck (0 Rs 10 Min) to Beejoliya bus station and from there took another local bus (38 Rs, 2 hours) to Bundi. In hindsight we realize it was probably a better idea to take a train from Udaipur like people suggested to us (but it arrives late at night so we decided to go for the bus option, oops).
