It wasn’t a very interesting ride and the traffic in Jodhpur was not much fun, but the fort is spectacular.
I didn’t feel like braving the hoardes of tourists and trying to find a place to park my bicycle. And I had visited the fort some years ago.
This place is quite special- Chandelao-and I think it is because of the personality of Praduman Singhji who manages this place in a very personal way. It is astonishing how many tourists come here to this out of the way village. Some visitors come for a womens empowerment project here and I have been very impressed by these women. Interesting things are going on. I have met people from Turkey, Bulgaria, Curacao, Holland, France, Burma, Norway, U.K., Denmark, and Japan. Isn’t that incredible?
I have felt very much at home here. Thank you Praduman Singh.
