The last part of our trip past Jaisalmer was by camel.
The other four nights were in the dirt, under the stars
We made this trip when we were teaching in Bangkok in March 1997. It was an 18-day trip, and we began and ended in New Delhi. We spent most of our time in Rajasthan, with stops in Jaipur, Jodhpur, Bikaner, and Jaisalmer, and we ended with a trip to Agra and the Taj Mahal. Although we have been to India several times, these are scanned photographs from our old Goliards website, and the picture quality is not very good. The rest of our India pictures are much better.
