On the road from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer, 20 kilometres from Pali (53 kilometres from Jodphur) is a temple dedicated to a bike - a bullet to be precise.

A gorgeous rising sun from behind the mighty, lush green mountains, the calming ripples on the lake, a cool breeze and a slight drizzle making the green even greener, just the way you’d like it. This would be a very regular beginning for almost any travel story. The reason I chose to sacrifice a more creative opening to this tale is because these lush green mountains, the cool breeze, the lakes and the slight drizzle happen to be in the middle of desert country Rajasthan. Udaipur is very different from the scorching heat and the picture of the barren desert pictures that one usually visualizes at the mention of the state of Rajasthan.
