| Re: Rajasthan - Padharo Mhare Des Day 08 30th December 2011 Udaipur - Mt. Abu - Udaipur Finally we reached the much recommended restaurant    Drinks not allowed!  Only family had no family dining there  They were pretty crowded  Clicking the menu to understand what we ate later!   The food came   He certainly is not impressed with the recommendation  The sprited one with a less wattage smile  Tea was the saving grace!!  Food is mediocre and not worth 30Km additional drive. Sirohi is not en route Udaipur and is a detour. Can be avoided from your itinerary. By 20:30hours we finished our dinner and started back to Udaipur. We reached our hotel by 23:00 hours. I was so tired that I just jumped on to the bed and slept away. |
