Destination: Udaipur City, Rajasthan, India

Here are a few pictures that I took while getting acquainted with my new home.

View of Udaipur looking North.

Note the City Palace (brown building in foreground), Lake Palace (white building in middle of Lake Pichola), and Monsoon Palace at the top of the tall mountain on the left (hidden behind clouds). The monsoons are still in full force here for the next couple weeks.


Chandra Niwas Homestay - Where I live




Jagdish Temple (Hindu)



Traditional Rajasthani art, seen on walls all over Udaipur



City Palace of Udaipur (Capital of Rajput Mewar Kingdom)



The local people of Udaipur are extremely friendly...


and often curious enough to ask for a picture...





Plentiful rooftop views



Yes, that is a camel butt.
