Day 17 - Monday 25 February

Udaipur - Fort Chittorgarh - Bijaipur, Rajasthan


We started the day by visiting Udaipur's lovely Sehiliyon Ki Bari - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saheliyon-ki-Bari .







We then drove to Chittorgarh, where we changed our mode of transport to Mukesh's auto-rickshaw, for our drive up to, and around, the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Chittorgarh Fort - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chittor_Fort . Our guide was the informative Satish.




fortunately, this auto-rickshaw had a rear seat as well!
