This Rajput era Fort was one of the top two highlights of my Indian tour. You can travel up to the fort by jeep type vehicles or the old fashioned way by Elephant which certainly looks more sedate.

Amazing Fort & there’s Elephants!

It’s a cliche, I know, but the pictures of the Taj do not do the place justice. It is absolutely majestic and glitters in the sunlight.

Breathtaking!!

A great bazaar that comes alive late in the day. At night, the vibe is truly frenetic! A real Indian buzz. You’ll be invited into every shop you walk past, but hey, that’s all part of the Indian experience. 🙂

Great vibe

Well worth the visit. Very popular and very busy tourists and locals. Lots to see and admire and lots of great photo opportunities.

Incredible architecture

Visited the ISKCON Temple in Bangalore and had a truly serene and spiritual experience. The architecture is breathtaking, and the temple exudes a sense of peace.
