• Overnight train to Jaipur

    December 9, 2023 in India ⋅ 🌙 16 °C

    Wandered around Jaisalmer Fort again and enjoyed a nice sunset over Jaisalmer before we caught our overnight train to Jaipur. We'd booked 1st Class AC tickets which were much more comfortable than our 3rd Class experience. The toilet situation was only marginally better than 3rd Class.

    We arrived in Jaipur around 11am, checked into our hostel and had lunch and a rest on the rooftop. Around 3pm, we took a tuktuk to Galta Ji Temple - a famous monkey temple in India - and spent about an hour walking around the temple complex. The complex was definitely beautiful, but very run down, dirty and had a lot of rubbish. At the temple we saw a lot of monkeys, catfish in the pond and saw a few Nilgai (a type of antelope) on our drive back to Jaipur.
