Udaipur is a spiritual place. The large lake overlooking the densely wooded Aravali Hills can freeze your mind in the moment, not desiring anything else but a wish for time to freeze itself. It is comforting to watch the morning sun illuminating blue lake and dispersing the cold accumulated through the night. And a breakfast in Amet Haveli overlooking the lake with a book in hand, the morning can’t be more perfect.
Forts and walls that go on as far as the ridges of the hills that contain them, red sun setting over orange sand dunes, slippery grains of sand slipping through the feet, starry nights in the middle of the desert whose silence is occasionally interrupted by the camel’s bells, orange turbaned men playing flute and traditional ravan hatha, making the little dolls dance to the tune of soulful music, children dancing to the voices of old men wearing colourful clothes, women in red robes and long skirts walking gracefully with a pot of water leaving behind the sonorous sounds of anklets, temples painted with playful acts of young Lord Krishna and palaces where opulence can’t be bettered. That’s just a few glimpses of what Rajasthan has to offer us, and what we are going to see and photograph. Our photography tour of Rajasthan will leave you lingering for more, and the pictures we bring back will ensure that the memories will never fade.
