Experiencing Rajasthan's charms: Unveiling the most stunning stays for the season

Flanked by the <keyword id="177600" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Aravalli">Aravalli</keyword> hills on one side, Bundi possesses all the charms sought by travellers who want to escape from the urban space. Narrow village lanes, old houses painted in blue to keep them cool during the summer months, a few cows ambling away with not a care in the world, some surprisingly decent cafes, a rustic old palace and a fort that provides brilliant views of the town. Advertising professional, Kanishka Vashisht, has visited Bundi, not once, but twice. Here’s what he had to say: “Bundi was a laid back dream. No pushers trying to sell you anything or do some 'pooja'. Our peaceful heritage haveli 'Dev Nivas' was awesome with yum food and calming views. Bundi is how <keyword id="56942" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="PUSHKAR">Pushkar</keyword> should be. Less crowded with tourists, friendly locals and even a government-approved bhang shop to make your 'trip' magical.” Abhimanyu Mukherji, an SAP service delivery manager, echoes this sentiment: “Bundi is not your fancy plan-it-with-family-vacation destination, yet it has all the quintessentially Rajasthan feels to it. It has a fort, lake, and little pretty boutique heritage hotels all packed in sleepy little town ignored by urban civilisation. In between the narrow lanes, and the cows grazing its pathways, don’t be surprised if you get charmed by it all in the most unexpected ways.” Here are a few of the places you must visit: <div type="image" title="Jait Sagar Lake, Bundi" msid="80301302" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Jait Sagar Lake, Bundi&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Jait Sagar Lake and Kshar Bagh (Saar Bagh): Around 1.5 in length, the Jait Sagar lake is often dotted with lotus flowers, especially in winters and monsoons. Close to the lake's eastern end is a slightly dilapidated Kshar Bagh that features some gorgeous cenotaphs with intricate carvings of elephants and horses. While it is not open to the public, you may be able to ask the caretaker to let you in for a quick glimpse. There is, however, a picnic spot nearby that is frequented by tourists. <div type="image" title="Bundi" msid="80301396" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;View from Taragarh Fort&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Bundi Palace (<keyword id="4513603" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="garh-palace">Garh Palace</keyword>): So enamoured was Rudyard Kipling with the Palace that he mentioned the same in his Letters of Marque: “Jaipur Palace may be called the Versailles of India … Jodhpur’s House of strife, gray towers on red rock, is the work of giants, but the Palace of Bundi, even in broad daylight, is such a palace as men build for themselves in uneasy dreams – the work of goblins rather than of men.” Need we say more? Some portions of the Palace may be in need of some upkeep, but the charm remains. While some areas are closed to the public, the parts that are open host some gorgeous murals and engravings. The Palace complex is massive and contains within it a bunch of smaller palaces, each steeped in history. <div type="image" title="Taragarh Fort" msid="80301325" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Taragarh Fort, Bundi&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> <keyword id="2033759" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Taragarh-Fort">Taragarh Fort</keyword>: This fourteenth-century fort is a short trek up from the Palace. The walls are adorned with beautiful artwork, engravings and mirrors. The fort also promises a spectacular view of the city and the lake below. The outdoor garden area is well kept and is a great place to relax, soak in the beauty, and is great for photo-ops. <div type="image" title="Bundi" msid="80301339" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Nutella crepes at Blue Bundi Cafe &amp;amp; Restaurant&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Cafe’s and Restaurant: You will be surprised that this unassuming little town has a host of brilliant cafes and restaurants serving a great variety of continental as well as Indian cuisine. Should you be heading there, do visit the Blue Bundi Cafe &amp; Restaurant. A precarious set of stairs may look dubious at first but what lies above is a perfect location for some sumptuous pizzas, pancakes, and more. Professional chef, Tarannum Sehgal, has travelled to Bundi thrice, she says, “Bundi is a secret I never wanted to share. That’s how quaint and untouched this place is and I hope it stays like that. For me, it’s all the Rajasthan feels packed in one small town. Right from the stay in old forts to streets freckled with French and Israeli cafes that serve right from the local Laal Maas to the best Nutella Crepes and thin hand-rolled pizzas with the backdrop of the Bundi castle.” SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/travel/article/travel-buffs-tell-you-where-to-veer-off-the-highway-in-chhattisgarh-to-find-some-lesser-known-gems/articleshow/80192152.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">Travel buffs tell you where to veer off the highway in Chhattisgarh to find some lesser-known gems</a>

The forgotten little town of Bundi in Rajasthan is a treasure waiting to be unearthed

Raipur, May 27 () Twenty-four-year-old Shraddha Patel, a private school teacher in Durg district of Chhattisgarh, was supposed to get married on May 17, but her family had to call off the wedding after the coronavirus- induced lockdown came into force in March. Her family is in a dilemma now as they want to hold the marriage ceremony next month with downsized gathering and simple celebration, whereas the couple is unwilling to tie the knot in the absence of their relatives and friends. "We had booked the venue and started with pre-marriage preparations after my engagement on March 1. Generally in our state wedding arrangements begin much ahead of the wedding schedule," Shraddha told over phone. Her marriage was fixed with an IT assistant at a steel plant in Durg. "Our families (bride and groom) then planned to reschedule the marriage in the year end, but in view of the muhurat (auspicious moment), they wanted to hold it next month," she said. "I don't want a lavish wedding with hundreds of guests, but at least I want my close friends and relatives to be present there on the occasion. However, it is not possible according to the present rules which allow only 15 people to attend a wedding function. So we are trying to figure out when to hold the wedding," she said. T Vaibhavi (21), a final year student of polytechnic college in Bhilai town, has the same story. Her father had booked a marriage hall 'Jain Bhavan' in Bhilai for her wedding with a Hyderabad-based engineer on June 10 and paid a handsome amount in advance. "We have no regret that we have lost money given in advance for marriage preparations. We just wish that we all should get rid of coronavirus soon and people should stay safe. Marriage can be held later," said T V Murali, Vaibhavi's father. According to sources, nearly 80 per cent of weddings were postponed across the state due to the lockdown. It can be assessed by the fact that the administration in various districts have so far received only a few applications seeking permission for holding weddings in May and June. During the past two weeks, the Durg district administration received applications seeking permission for holding 400 weddings, government officials said. Similarly, authorities in Raipur received 400 such applications during this period while permissions were sought for 134 weddings in Raigarh town, 50 in Korba and 90 in Bilaspur, they said. Most of the applications were received from rural areas, officials said. The wedding hall owners and caterers are bearing the bruntof the cancellation of weddings scheduled in this summer (April-June), which is considered as a peak marriage season in the state. Sanjay Choubey, who runs a wedding hall- Abhinandan Palace- in Raipur said,"We had about 18 bookings for April and May and all of them were cancelled after the lockdown was imposed. We suffered a cumulative loss of about Rs 25 lakh in this season." "We are not even in a position to refund the advance as we have to spend around Rs 60,000 per month on maintenance of the venue. We are in complete loss and it seems the situation will remain the same throughout the year," he said. A Raipur-based caterer, Vimal Yadu, said, "My business has been in total loss since the last three months. I had got the order for around 22 weddings but all of them were cancelled. I suffered a loss of about Rs 15 lakh." "It is not just the hall owners or caterers, but even those who provide lights, flower decorations and sound services also suffered a huge loss," he added.
