2/5
April
Why 2/5? Hot 22-40°C. Taragarh Fort climb punishing by 9am. Palace courtyards bake. Stepwells offer cool interiors. Early morning only.
The Rajasthan that tourism forgot — 50 stepwells, a crumbling fort, painted havelis, and zero selfie sticks.

Why Special
Bundi is what Rajasthan looked like before tour buses. Taragarh Fort crumbles beautifully above the town. Rani ji ki Baori is one of India finest stepwells. The painted chitrashala murals are extraordinary. Rudyard Kipling wrote Kim here.
