Rajasthan is one of the most visited areas of India and well deserves its reputation. The Golden Triangle circuit tour includes Delhi, Agra [Taj Mahal] and Jaipur, but that barely touches Rajasthan. You need several weeks to visit Mt. Abu, Jaisalmer, Pushkar, Jodhpur, Udaipur and Ranakpur, and you'll still only have started. Below are excerpts from my journal for our 2009 trip to India. We had been to Rajasthan several times before, so for our latest trip we made a base near Kumbhalgarh Fort
