Travel Bug - Sunset at Nahargarh Fort

 Shireen insisted that a sunset at Nahargarh is worth a visit and i decided to head there. Surprisingly NP was game and he even got Pavan to join us. We hired a cab and got dropped off right at the top. I had been here a few days earlier with Jyo so I did not waste too much time going into the palaces etc.

NP and Pavan were not too keen either so we headed straight to the sunset point where for the price of 100 bucks apiece you get a place to sit, enjoy a drink or beverage, and bask in the rays of the setting sun. The for overlooks the city and we got ourselves a nice spot and sat down there and watched as the sun descended. We sat in an open air kind of a place. There was another cafe like place, enclosed, where many others were sitting.

We headed out and in due course Denzil and Muskaan and Lala arrived and they took us to a lonely pace from where we could see the other side of Jaipur, the one where we could see the lake, Man Sarovar, the Jal Mahal, while sipping on our drinks. Now apparently Nahargarh is so called because it is the 'hill of tigers'. Denzil said that it was infested with leopards.


Anyway, we spent a heavenly half hour there under the starry sky and then headed down to the city, to Denzil's house where he had invited us for dinner!

The sunset at Nahargarh was so worth it!
