Flying Through The Sands
As we climbed and entered the gap, the sight left us spellbound. We found ourselves on a small hillock that curved the way golfers would call 'dog-leg right'.

The subterranean world of reverence and worship – Patal Bhuvneshwar
We began our slow progress into the cave timidly and squeamishly. Every few steps, I would be leaning on our guide's shoulder while he would point towards some wonder or the other. As one delicate step followed another, the mysteries of the cave began to unravel themselves.
A Taste of South in Central India
After cruising a few kilometres on a newly laid concrete highway, we soon found ourselves on a disastrous stretch that was still being built. To boot, it passed through a locality inhabited by people with negligible traffic or civic sense. That is when, somewhere near Suket, a small town just 16 kms from Jhalawar, we spotted a dhaba.

Besides being a UNESCO Creative City, Jaipur boasts two more UNESCO World Heritage Sites - Jantar Mantar, and the Amber (Amer) Fort.
