3. Bijaipur - The Castle
Entertainment en route to the airport was a quick look at the "brides and grooms wanted" section! We flew to Udaipur and the n drove about 3 hours to the Castle Hotel in Bijaipur where we received a warm welcome. The central part of the Castle was built in the early 16th Century by Rao Vijay Singh a descendant of the great Rajput warrior Shakti Singh, the younger brother of Marharana Pratap. The present family are thirteenth generation to call the Castle home. This is a special place - words don't really do it justice - images give a flavour but don't convey the smells of the flowers and cooking and endless smiles of the staff.
