Noisy, colourful, crowded, the Indian road traffic welcomed me with uninterrupted honking concerts. Wherever I looked, there was a hustle and bustle of countless people, rubbish, dirt and poverty. But Rajasthan is more than that, an incredible conglomerate of castles, luxurious palaces, temples, lakes, national parks, blue, gold and pink cities, precious fabrics, colourful flowers, markets and so much more. Rajasthan means diving into a different world full of contrasts which are not always easy to "digest".

My journey of contrasts led me to Delhi, Udaipur, Ranakpur, Jodhpur, Jaipur, Ranthambore and of course to Agra.
