We took off from Mumbai at 10 am and it took us about three hours to land in Ajmer. The hotel stay turned out to be amazing since the hotel was impeccably neat and pleasant. After being transferred to our hotel, we made the best out of our leisure time by exploring the streets of Ajmer. Since it was a Friday, we met a huge Namaz-crowd. While we were waiting in a narrow lane, somebody suggested us to get inside an old structure and unknowingly we entered the Deevan Sahab Ki Haveli. The place holds historical importance since it was home to Khwaja, Ajmer Sharif. After visiting Ajmer, we were then taken to Pushkar where we visited the only Brahma Temple in the world. The aura of the temple was very calm since the place is not very commercialized. The temple visit was then followed by a Camel Ride at the nearby desert. We started the safari well before sunset but after covering a few meters, our camel refused to walk. In the process of getting another camel and restarting the ride, we ended up losing an hour. Yet we enjoyed our camel ride with the sunset and ended the day with a treat of Rajasthani thali. Around 7:30 pm we left for Ranthambhore, our next destination. Post 8 hours of travel, we landed at the luxury tents of Sultan Bagh at 3 am. The mere glimpse of those tents under the twinkling stars drove away our tiredness. Staying at Sultan Bagh will always hold a special place in my memories since it offered an idyllic picture of nature with a touch of the royal Rajputana hospitality. Moreover, it is here, where we — as a couple — found our peace amidst the noise of the animals. Being a wildlife and nature enthusiast, I was eagerly waiting for our visit to the Ranthambhore Wildlife Sanctuary. So as morning struck, we geared up for the safari but unfortunately, got delayed. This happened because of the unavailability of transportation facility from our hotel to the pick-up point for the safari. Later at the sanctuary, we came across merely a wild cow and a peacock. Even then, the wild safari itself turned out to be an aesthetic experience for us. In a short trip, while tackling the lust for visiting as many places as possible, time is always a pain. So, even when Bhangarh was not included in our package, we decided to pay a visit to the fort infamous for being haunted. This is when we ran into another couple headed towards the same. So, we all left Ranthambhore at 2:30 pm but were put way behind schedule by a tire-puncture. After losing more than an hour and with the 5 pm deadline lurking on the head, it was now down to a battle between the roads to Bhangarh and our car. Along with the sun shining bright and excitement running through veins, our car stormed through the dusty roads of a shortcut. We never realized when an unfortunate delay turned upside down and we actually ended up enjoying the wild ride.
