Day 1: The Journey
begins
A Washout?
The journey started with an early morning flight from Mumbai
to Jaipur. It was a short and pleasant flight with the flight taking-off and
landing on time.
A good start to the trip indeed.
Next was a road trip of 3 hours from Jaipur to Ranthambore
covering a distance of 160 kms. As the vehicle reached the outskirts of Jaipur,
the roads turned from good to bad, narrow, pot-holed and very bumpy. And the
heavy truck traffic early in the morning ensured that we were moving at a
snail’s pace. And then came the final blow. Rain! It was raining in Jaipur in
the middle of February!!! As unseasonal as could be! Not a drizzle or a shower,
but a proper thunderstorm with lightning for added effect.
It didn’t seem to be a good start to the trip anymore!
