At that time, it was decided to come to India in March not only because of the weather (not too hot), but also because of the most famous Holi in March   Festival - the red sage Festival, I think it is one of the festivals that I must experience once in my life. The red sage Festival is usually at the full moon in March. The specific time of this year is March 17, when I went to Pushkar, because it is well known that the atmosphere of red sage Festival is the best and craziest town. Correspondingly, the accommodation is full and a little expensive

When you go out, many people warn you not to take a camera. Facts have proved that this is a wise choice. After you enter the carnival crowd, your T-shirt is torn up for the first time, and you begin to accept all kinds of pigments, no matter they are powder or liquid. How about your washing, even your underpants are wet into five colors! Go back once in the middle of the way, cover the camera with a plastic bag, leave only the lens, and then try to stay away from the carnival crowd and use the long focus segment to shoot

Among the four color cities, the blue city of jotpur is famous for its majestic melangar castle. You can look up at the castle on the Rocky Mountain from the rooftop restaurants in the old city. It's spectacular day and night. The bell tower is a landmark building. You can walk north along the footpath to the castle, but if it's a tutu car, you have to go around the city, So it's recommended to walk. In fact, it's very close to the moat behind melangar castle and the bare ridge. You can enjoy the impregnability of the castle from another angle. It's recommended to go at sunset

On this day, my companion dressed in a blue-green Sari started a one-day tour of merengar castle. Not only did Indian tourists who loved taking photos chat up with each other, but also many Western tourists scrambled to take photos with Oriental women's sari. Next time, I can try my cheongsam. It's absolutely the focus where I go. I suggest renting a voice guide, Learn about the history of the most famous castle in Rajasthan. If you have a student ID card, the ticket will be reduced by 100 rupees. Oh? You don't have a student ID? You can also use ID card. Of course, you have to look like a student

In addition to melangar castle, what is also worth visiting in the blue city is the mausoleum of jaswan sada, which is also made of white marble. Different from the Taj Mahal, this mausoleum is not mogul style, but the architectural style of pute itself

Among the four color cities, the favorite is the golden city of jeysermer, which is located in the desert in the westernmost part of Rajasthan. The small border town also lacks the noise of big cities. Especially in the castle of jeysermer, the streets less than two meters wide are like a labyrinth of winding paths. Even Tutu cars can't enter here, so they can only walk, All the houses are as old as the castle itself, with hundreds of years of history, which makes people feel like going back to the Rajput Dynasty hundreds of years ago

It is strongly recommended to live in the guest in the castle   House, you can see the whole picture of the castle on the roof of each house, and even chat with friends from the roof restaurant next door. It's great to see the sunrise and sunset here. The fly in the ointment is that it's already very hot in March, and there are many mosquitoes

The desert safari in jeysermer is divided into three different prices according to different routes and sand dunes at different distances. At that time, we chose Safari, which is the most remote desert with the least tourists. It turns out that the cost performance is not high. In fact, it is considered desert in a strict sense. It is unrealistic to see beautiful and vast sand dunes. Although there are many stars at night, the air is still not bright enough, It's hard to see the galaxy desert camping. It's worth experiencing. When we camped that night, there was a strong wind in the middle of the night. The sand was close to the ground and all over the blanket. Unexpectedly, a lost lamb was always close to our blanket to avoid the wind and sand, and finally fell asleep with the lamb

It's still sunny at four in the afternoon

To be honest, the desert here is far from the Sahara sand sea in Egypt

It's good to have a sunset point in the northwest corner of jeysermer town. You can also visit the gardissa Lake in the southeast. Just don't choose to row when the sun is hot. The evening here will be cool

If it's my first day in India, it's hard for me to go barefoot into the crossflow of sewage, pigeon dung and flies everywhere. What's more, there are thousands of mice crawling through the temple. But after four weeks of cultivation of Indian life style, it's very calm for me. The mouse Temple was originally named kanimata temple, Located in the outskirts of Bikaner, West Rajasthan City, 30 kilometers away, very few tourists come here. However, to avoid returning by the same way, we chose to go north to Punjab from jaisermer via Bikaner, so we also went to experience the "most Indian" temple

The black-and-white marble tiles on the roof illuminate the incense in the hall, and the blue light column is eye-catching
