North India Trip Series - Udaipur (Part 1)

Ahmedabad Train Station, transit from Mumbai to Udaipur (24 hours altogether from Mumbai to Udaipur)

Udaipur - The White City

Pichola Lake

Yew Kong: " Sir, what time does the lake close ar?!"
Harvinder (taxi driver): " It's always there. you can't close it one!"

another one!


Happy Holi! was suppose to avoid Holi celebration cause it's kinda dangerous for us to go out. but! still we kena some colouring while trying to walk across the road for lunch...

according to them, they throw colour one another as a sign of friendship. so you cannot reject them for colouring you. it's either you stay in the room or you'll become colourful.

good thing we went back to our hotel after some green colouring. or else we'll become like this:


so we had to stayed in our hostel. till when the whole of India went to bathe and Holi celebration stopped.
had a good nap till 3.30pm got ourselves ready for a boat ride on Lake Pichola. and most importantly, the beautiful sunset.
