Yesterday we had such an incredible day with Firoz of Ride and Relax that I just have to share. We were greeted at our hotel and the day began. We went to a Hindu Temple where Firoz explained so much about the art, culture and philosophy of where we were at what we were seeing. Let me also say this is my third time in Udaipur and so I have seen the City Palace twice before but yesterday we really learned a lot about the kind of rule that has existed here and the personal lives of the Maharana and their families. We took a tuk tuk through town during a Hanuman procession, went to lunch on another lake, also we had a relaxing boat ride to a beautiful island in the middle of the lake, very charming and scenic. This was followed by an art cooperative where we picked up some lovely pieces and finally a walk through the Queens Gardens…. Absolutely enchanting.
All in all a wonderful and educational experience with a lovely and extremely knowledgeable guide.
