I saw on google maps (“hotels near such and such place”- a useful feature) that there didn’t seem to be any hotels on today’s ride up until Devgarh which was a 124 kms. distance. That is a long ride if I encounter terrible roads. As it is there is a lot of climbing- that is the nature of this geography. There were patches of very bad road surfaces but less than the preceeding days. The wind coming from the east was furious and there were even some drops of rain from a threatening sky.
I made it well before dark to Devgarh and stopped at the first hotel I saw (hotel diamond) and had a very nice room at 1,000 rs. The meal at the restaurant there (veg. thali with fried surmai (kingfish) was outstanding.
