I made an unplanned trip to Jaipur last year and it was well worth it though I could not cover everything in those few days. My next trip to explore a larger part of Rajasthan would be for a longer time, so can take a lot of tips from this post, from reader's useful comments and from Manish's post too. Thanks Nandan, thanks everyone here. :) Oh, good one. I made an unplanned trip to Jaipur last year and it was well worth it though I could not cover everything in those few days.

Kumkum - Do visit for sure. Read Manish's post on Shekhawati as well before going. Bikerdude - I have driven from Delhi to Bikaner to Jaisalmer and yes indeed its one straight sturdy piece of tar. Fabulous drive. Esp from Bikaner to Jaisalmer , its amazing. 'Murmuri' haveli, naa , didn't hear about it while I was there. We stayed at the fort only. "Castle Mandawa". Lovely property to be. I dont know about the 'haunting' part. There is this old fort which is vacant (some pics are there) and the not-so-old-fort which now works as a Hotel. Thanks Matt.

You should have gone to Bagar Inn in Bagar... good food. No idea of rooms. I recall a certain ride to Bikaner... Took the same route as you did. NH8, Rewari Turnpike Narnaul, Jhunjhunu and small towns till Fatehpur... Post Fatehpur was a dead straight road till Bikaner. 167 Km stretch with just two turns... darned boring for a biker, but good fun of you are in a car with cruise controls.... Road network and quality were just superb. although had a bit fo trouble passing through Mandawa with traffic, locals and tourists... it can get a bit tiring. BTW did you also happe to visit the "Murmuri Haveli" in Mandawa and the Mandawa Fort? I heard from the locals that the fort was haunted ;-) Hmm… unplanned it was… that is for sure.
