This was my first solo trip, i was very fond of traveling from the beginning itself but recent years especially covid made me realise that
"ABHI NAHI TO KBHI NAHI".
So after gathering little courage and planning a lot beforehand, I boarded the chittorgarh express to experience the thrill of Solo Backpacking.

After Visiting the monsoon palace , on my way back i visited Shilpagram, it was under some routine renovation so i couldn't get full experience there. Still i saw some artists and traditional houses.
And with an experience and lots of memories my trip end on the day 3.
Tips-
1) Rent a scooty on the day 1 itself as rapido guys won't come and ask for extra fare, and don't even ask me about the auto walas.
2) Try To witness atleast 2 sunsets, preferably one from the monsoon palace or karni mata and another one from the boat on lake pichola.
3) Get a stay near the city palace, lots of options available near in the old streets near jagdish temple.
