Bundi

From Jaipur we went to the Ranthambhore National Tiger Part reserve. We were in a loud diesel powered bus and there were about 5 other similar buses on the same route. Needless to say...no tigers. So there's no real story about Ranthambhore.

Bundi, on the other hand, was a really nice place. There's an old palace there that's abandoned and in disrepair. It's cool to see nature slowly take over...bats have found a home in there and some of the structures were starting to decay. It had some really neat painting in there...really fine delicate art. It used to be a maharajah residence but now it's an attraction. It was really nice because we were pretty much the only people there and no hawkers/vendors.

We also saw the summer residence:



...and a lot of monkeys:

Apart from that, Bundi is a nice little town. The houses were mostly painted this nice baby blue colour aparently because it's one of the cheapest paints around. Makes for some nice photos...like this goat:
