I am on my way to Menal, a small village with a great attraction. Remains from the 11th century (!) of the Temples of Mahanal, dedicated to goddess Shiva with a huge waterfall next to it, which, unfortunately for me, only thunders down during the rainy season. There is also a hotel next to it that is located at…

It takes me a while to leave Jodhpur because I can't find the right route in the maze of small streets. Fortunately, a motorcyclist I ask for the right route is willing to drive a bit ahead of me and within minutes I'm driving out of town. The roads to…

I planned to drive on toll roads (free for two-wheelers) for most of the 250 km to Jodhpur. That is more boring, but the risk of material damage (due to bad roads or heavy traffic) is a lot less and if I arrive early at the destination I still have…

Three quarters of an hour after I have ordered my breakfast (omelet and roti, bread-like pancake), it is finally brought to the roof terrace, where I am already enjoying the morning sun. I am accompanied at breakfast by a Dutch man who arrived at the hotel last night and has many travel stories to tell. All in all…

It was hacked a few days ago after which…

The more I drive south, to the province of Rajasthan, the more the landscape changes. It is a very dry province, almost desert, but very fertile because there is a lot of water available for irrigation. A disadvantage is that it is also getting dustier. I also think it is noticeable in the engine…

I find it difficult to determine which city will be my next destination because I have no idea how many kilometers I can cover in one day in India. There are places in India that I definitely want to see, but they are all several days away. When I talk to the owner in the evening…

It is about a half hour walk from my hotel to the golden temple and it takes some searching in the narrow streets. But the closer I get, the more people head in the same direction. On arrival I have to hand in shoes, socks and cap and I am given an orange cloth to wear as a head covering…
