From the desert we head to Jaisalmer - the golden city. The focal point is the fort, which is still inhabited, built of sandstone and magnificently decorated.
Jaipur - the pink city - is our first stop in Rajasthan. It is not only home to the Palace of the Winds, but also a luxurious city palace, an observatory and a sunken palace.
Get out of Bangalore and experience one of India's most beautiful cultural treasures in Hampi: That is our plan.
After a bumpy start, we have a wonderful time.
