TRAVEL THE WORLD - VILLAGE NEAR UDAIPUR, INDIA


In Rajasthan in December the temperatures fall at night to below the freezing point. Here on a cold morning in a remote village between Udaipur and the fortress of Kumbhalgarh, men are wearing the woolen shawls that we saw everywhere. By the time we reached Jaisalmer, the night time temperature had become even colder, and our hotel, located within the old fort, had a very poor heating system. Fortunately, for around $7.00 I was able to purchase a beautiful multi-coloured woolen shawl. I fought the cold by wrapping myself into its lovely warm softness.
