Today we are starting our trip! We departed Ahmedabad around noon, heading north through Gandhinagar. We drove 259 kilometers to Udaipur, Rajastan, to stay at the Aravali Tent Camp.

The road conditions were favorable with smooth roads. Slow moving semi-trucks and cows were the only obstacles. The landscape quickly changed to desert and mountains as we entered Rajastan; but it still retained greenery.

Once we arrived in Udaipur we had lunch at the City Palace, and then visited the Monsoon Palace overlooking the city. We then went to the Aravali tent camp for the night.
