Pushkar - day 1

A short taxi ride over the mountain from the train at Ajmer to our hotel in Pushkar. We booked this place back in October as it's always hard to get into. It's a converted mansion house (Havelli) with rooms on 4 floors designed around a central open space, with hanging plants / creepers growing downwards. We are here for 4 nights and I'm glad I bought my hot water bottle as the rooms are not heated. The warmest place is the rooftop restaurant as they have charcoal braziers up there. 
Had a quick walk around town just now to say hello to our contacts. Apparently it's the kite flying festival tomorrow so most businesses are closed, but we don't need so many things from here so that's not a problem. Bye for now!

  1. Looks lovely Lou! You obviously got the train despite the beers and had a safe trip - but you forgot to say whether Bern got his Butterscotch Ice-cream or not...? The Bluebird and Appleby cheese was a treat here!
    Look forward to the next instalment..... D
    Oh, Baz has been a visiting a lady Red this weekend so is now busy doing "a Bern" (busy snoring in the background)! ;o)
