Jaipur

I had a fantastic time in Jaipur! The first place that we went to was to Amber Fort. I couldn't tell you a thing about this place other than it is a really big fort in Jaipur, that is really beautiful to look at and you can ride elephants up the fort. So guess what we did...

We road the elephants up the fort! It was great!! I actually thought we could ride them bareback but, there was a little seat ontop of the elephant so we weren't directly on the elephant but it was close enough. I will try to post pictures of it soon.

Then in the evening we went to this little carnaval village thing called the chokhi dhani where you could ride camels, watch girls do their traditional Indian dancing, watch a magic show and even get your fortune told. We did it all and had a great time! I especially liked riding the camel even if it did only last 2 min!! It was fun.

  1. Was it difficult mounting the elephant? Or do they have some kind of ladder for you to get up there?

    Sounds like you are having an amazing vacation...even though you're technically there for volunteering. ;)
