Eating at Morgan’s Place in Bundi

Eating at Morgan’s Place in Bundi
Destinations / Food & drink / India March 5, 2021 March 5, 2021 1 comment

Arriving in Bundi in India’s Rajasthan during Coronavirus was a weird experience. We were a party of 4, and were the ONLY tourists in town. As in the ONLY ones. Our hotel was operating only a skeleton service, so we looked for somewhere to eat out, but many places were …

Dev Niwas in Bundi

Dev Niwas in Bundi
Destinations / Hotels / India March 4, 2021 March 4, 2021 6 Comments

Since COVID-19 upended all our lives, we have scarcely travelled, and the little we have done has been to stay with friends, or in home-stays run by friends. So the current trip we are on right now, driving down to south India, was our first experience of staying in “normal” …

Where can I buy good “bandhni” fabric in Jaipur?

India / Shopping / Shops / Travel March 21, 2013 May 21, 2020 Leave a comment

Last week in Jaipur, we were on a mission to buy a bandhni sari for a friend’s mother, and I wanted to buy stoles/dupattas, and so after trawling many shops in Johari bazaar, we liked the look of one New Silk Palace. Friendly staff who patiently showed us gazillions of …

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Entertainment / Film / Movie July 14, 2012 September 5, 2014 2 Comments

Take a generous helping of the best of British acting talent. Add an exotic (yes, really) location like Rajasthan, India. Combine with great filming and the result is a colourful, happy, feel-good, entertaining confection. This film is  a delight. It may not be the most searingly important film on the …

Karni Fort, Bambora, Rajasthan

Destinations / Hotels / India / Travel January 8, 2012 May 21, 2020 Leave a comment

The charmingly restored and renovated Karni Fort, in Bambora village, Rajasthan is a destination in itself, as well as a good base for visiting Udaipur. The Fort has everything a self-respecting fort should have – crennallations and towers and panoramic views over the beautiful countryside it dominates, and – oh …

Narain Niwas Palace Hotel, Jaipur

Narain Niwas Palace Hotel, Jaipur
Hotels / India / Travel March 4, 2011 May 27, 2020 Leave a comment

In a state seemingly awash with heritage hotels and palaces, this centrally located hotel in Jaipur, in India’s Rajasthan state, ticks all the right boxes.  Approached through noisy congested streets in the city centre, and located opposite a nondescript modern shopping complex, one’s heart initially sinks at the approach. But …

Bharat Mahal Palace, Jaipur

Bharat Mahal Palace, Jaipur
Hotels / India / Travel March 2, 2011 May 27, 2020 1 comment

Although seemingly every hotel in India’s Rajasthan state is either a palace or a self-proclaimed heritage property, to describe the Bharat Mahal Palace as a “royal residence” (as their own brochure does) or a heritage hotel (as the sign in the garden does) is an exaggeration.  This poorly maintained, decidedly …
