Mandawa - unexpected

Patricia, Agus decided to rent a car with a driver to do a 14 day trip through Rajasthan and invited me to join them. After the quite exhausting way from Rishikesh to Delhi I feared the street- and traffic conditions would continue the same way. Luckily the streets were a bit better and there was less chaos on the streets, so we reached Mandawa after a 5 hour drive. We had no information about this place, so we were positively surprised when we found a nice old palace there which had even remodelated into a great hotel. Of course we did not want to spend a lot of money to stay there, but at least we had a Chai and enjoyed exploring the palace and taking photos.
When we left, we popped into several weddings on the streets and even got invited to one. As we were falling asleep while walking we decided to leave out this opportunity and hope for an other chance somewhere else, as it is wedding season in India right now ;)
