lovely place :) ...seen that pic jack

jack, thanks, will do that!

Yes it's a must visit if you are coming to Rajasthan. Just 2 hours from Jaipur..

There are so many must visit places there to be honest, every city has history staring at your face.. Felt like a tourist working there :-P

Dargah of Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti must be an amazing sight. We know Rajastan because of Ajmer.

Cool, the more the merrier! Seriously, we should think about this, I think it would be fab!

nomerci, I've seen TV documentaries about Rajastan too, it looks fab...I'm coming too :-)

lol, sorry my friend!

Nomerci- Thats why I wanted to be around for those coffee meetups :(

Whyte September is perfect...and if you are already there, even better !

Sorry FU, I don't travel with strangers...:(

Nomerci - When shall we plan? Looks like WK wont be available around then ;)

Hehe sure.. Let me know when do you plan to go, I may run into you there :o)

I think September, October is the best time to visit personally.. It's so green after the Monsoons and the lakes in Udaipur are full which makes for a beautiful scenery..

Whyte...let's go together! :)

Oh yes eating at Chokhi Dhani is a must though I won't recommend staying there.. Bit far out of the city so it becomes a bit of a journey to see the other places in Jaipur.

Come very early for dinner as there is quite a bit of waiting involved.. damn i feel like going back there thinking about everything :-P

The thing I appreciated the most, 24 hours wine shop in Jaipur, that won't be a big attraction for you though :D

cangadi, thanks, sounds great!

Hey Nomerci ... whn u r in Jaipur stay in 'Choki Dhani' an ethenic 5 star village / resort ... The inside of the rooms are modern and outside is ethenic like a village home and threre is no building it's just huts ... n thy have a village fair withing the resort n u will really njoy the hospitality of the staff...

India, basically.

where is that basically?

Thanks whyte...have to work on a plan to go there....I really like to see it!

Not worried about the markets...I sure know how to haggle....and I an patient and persistent...;)

The architecture is amazing.. There are so many majestic forts & palaces everywhere..

Udaipur in Rajasthan is simply the most beautiful place I have been to.

There are beautiful sand dunes in Jaisalmer, where you can have a night out in the dunes with local folk dances and all..

Beautiful temples spread all over the state, Ajmer shareef draws huge number of tourists as well..

Just be careful while shopping in the local antique markets, prices are obscene for tourists just like everywhere else :-P

Other than that, some of the most nice and helpful people you will ever meet.
