Green days in Ranakpur

Ranakpur is a wildlife sanctuary on our way to Udaipur. We spent a few lovely days in the nature, breathing the purest air of India! Breakfast with view on the lake (we bought a kettle in Bikaner and it is changing our life, we nearly feel at home drinking our coffee and ginger tea....ah consumerism is far away:-), walks in the mountains and hearty dinners in the resort provided a very welcome break in the nature. We did one interesting walk to Kumbalgarh fort with a "guide" who could only say "Yes and OK" in English, hmmm, that was funny. Anyway, as Indian always agree with you, it wasn't so weird in the end:-) But what a view from the fort! We also crossed beautiful villages where time seems to have stopped 150 years ago. We saw many birds, monkeys and the biggest antelope of India. No sign of the famous leopards though...And on top of it, the beautiful Jain temples provided a bit of culture. The complex was truly impressive. Walking in the middle of the marble erotic sculptures always makes you feel so spiritual, eh eh. But like in Jaisalmer, Jain priests seem more interested in money than anything else. So a few nice days in Green India...hoping that conservation efforts will carry on.
