It was a Friday afternoon in April 2009, and i was too bored for not doing anything... Suddenly i thought that it would be a good idea to take my camera and move out for shooting. Initially the plan was made for the nearby Safdarjung's Tomb in the viscinity, at Safdarjung area. Then it changed and I thought to move to the Old fort of delhi. The idea of Fort was kick..... and u know what ...!! I planned for vary famous NEEMRANA FORT in Rajasthan. And we set out in the scorching heat at 2:00 pm with temperatures as high as 45 degrees.
It was too hot. I reached Neemrana fort- 120 kms away from Delhi, about 3 kms inside from highway, @ around 5 pm. The entry was closed. Though I clicked some snaps of the magnificient fort from outside, and left the place.
Because, the thirst of visiting a fort was not quenched. And I had not got my shots. So I set for Jaipur. Reached Jaipur by 9 pm. Went through tth Amer fort road. One of our Friend Sidhhart, who ws supposed to be there in Jipur was not around. He had gone to Mt.Abu. HIs brother Sonu help me to find a hotel to stay for the night. I checked in. Early morning next day I was at the most famous AMER FORT... that was built 1000 yrs ago by the royal rajputs of Amer, it took 700yrs to complete. Its was magnanimous and most beautiful fort that i have ever seen.
it took me 4 hrs to move around it and take a few shots.
By 1 pm i was tired. It wastime to return. And i set out for Delhi by 1: 30 pm. We had lunch at a restaurant named Moon.. something at the foot hills. The food was decent with roti, rice, vegetables and raita.
Way back i had to stop at 2 - 3 places for water. It was again too hot in daytime. Reached back Delhi by 5 pm. Uff.... 600 kms.. i had riden for first time for so long distance at a stretch.
Wish to make few more trips around.. very soon.
