Bundi Fort
After spending the night before, at a roadside motel on Jaipur-Tonk highway we were geared up for the next day. Although the day was a long & tiring to an extent but the breakfast at Tonk and the Chittaur Fort at the end of the day was delightful and compensated for all the fatigue.
The mutter samosas, dal & onion khachoris along with hot jalebis at breakfast was a brilliant start to the day. The thought of the breakfast makes me hungry!
Tonk is small place and doesn’t have anything to see or do, but it’s a popular place because of its connectivity to other major towns of Rajasthan. From Tonk we headed to Kota, which is one of the cleanest small towns I’ve ever seen. The city thrives on education business and a big population is of students. The City Fort Palace, Haveli of Deaji, Chambal Gardens are some of the places we checked out. Before heading out for Bundi, we had a delectable special Rajasthani lunch at The Maheswari (at Chhawani Chouraha). This is apparently the best place to eat Kota(rajasthan) special food.
After quite a long drive we reached Bundi at around 5pm in the evening. The Bundi fort was looking especially beautiful in the backdrop of the sunset. Although we didn’t get much time to visit other places but still I took back fond memories of the beautiful fort.
All the time when we were on road, the only two things I did were eating and catching up on my sleep. The distance was quite a lot but the wide, well maintained roads made up for the distance. By the time we reached Chittaurgarh, it was almost 7pm. We rushed into our rooms in the hotel to freshen up and drive to the Chittaur Fort for the Light&Sound show.
The show was very good and interestingly Sharukh Khan had lent his voice for the character of Babur while Sharmila Tagore lent her voice for Rani Padmini. We were little disappointed as Maharana Pratap’s history was not a part of this but, overall the narration was amazing.
The long day did pay off well!!!
