Running Away From The Rain

The Monsoon is threatening to kick in any minute now (it's already almost 2 weeks late), so I've decided to head north and hide out in the mountains until the worst of it is over. Mumbai receives up to 10 metres 1,000 millimetres of rain every month during the Monsoon!

Tomorrow, I'm taking an overnight train to the city of Ajmer in Rajasthan. I bought my tight-ass-class ticket for this 19 hour, 970km trip for the princely sum of 332 rupees (AU$8.50). From Ajmer, I'll take a bus down to the small lakeside town of Pushkar. And if it's not too wet (i'm taking about rain, not the lake), I'll stay there for a few days and relax. Otherwise, it'll be on to Delhi.
