Au sud de Jaipur, Bundi et Chittorgarh rivalisent par leurs magnifiques forts. Mais, niveau hébergement et ambiance dans la ville, disons que le débat n’existe pas. Is it better to sleep in Bundi or Chittorgarh? South of Jaipur, Bundi and Chittorgarh compete with their magnificent forts. But, in terms of accommodation and atmosphere in the city, let's say that the debate does not exist. The fort of Chittorgarh is huge. Even with a car, its visit requires several hours. To admire the details of the temples, the size of its Jain towers or its ramparts overlooking the city. But that's all. In Chittorgarh, everything is concentrated in the fort. The visit can therefore easily be done during the day. Monkeys, blue roofs and (obviously) horns In Bundi, the atmosphere is totally different.On the outskirts of the Taragarh fort , monkeys and cows rule the roost. Each rooftop offers a breathtaking view of the blue roofs of the old town. Peaceful. In the middle of the hubbub of the Indian streets, Bundi surprises. By its tranquility. Finally, Indian tranquility obliges, irresistible horns stand out. View from Bundi Palace Bundi > Chittorgarh The surrounding decor is well worth stopping for a few days to stroll to the rhythm of the population. And between two meals on a rooftop in the old town, an outing will take you to reservoirs carved into the rock or a distant cenotaph. An entire program.

Pour préparer au mieux votre trek des Annapurnas, voici quelques questions que tous les randonneurs se sont posé avant d’entamer cette superbe randonnée, assez facile à organiser. Annapurna trek: duration, price, itinerary, accommodation... all you need to know To better prepare your Annapurna trek, here are some questions that all hikers have asked themselves before starting this superb hike, which is quite easy to organize. How long to plan? From Kathmandu or from Pokhara, it takes an average of fifteen days to complete the Annapurna trek. Due to the recent construction of many roads, the hike can even be done in less than 10 days depending on the routes. We offer a 10-day itinerary on our site, it goes through Tilicho Lake. When planning your vacation, planning three weeks in Nepal seems to us enough to complete the Annapurna trek. What budget should you plan? With 15 euros per day of hiking per person, we were very wide. To manage your budget well, just keep in mind that prices increase with altitude due to supply difficulties (special mention at Tilicho Lake, where there is a huge crowd and therefore a certain increase in prices). Are there still accommodations? What happens if there is no more space? On the whole hike, we found a place to sleep. Find out beforehand by asking people you meet during the hike or withmaps.me to find villages with accommodation. We were in Nepal in high season and we always had a bed. If ever there is no more room (dedication to Tilicho Lake, link to the article), you will be accommodated in the common rooms, no one will let you outside. In addition, we had thought of taking a tent but, given the number of accommodations on the way, it is really not necessary for this hike. How not to pay for hosting? Try to negotiate la nuit against breakfast, it is a very common practice on the trek. What is the TIMS, what information to give and where to get it? TIMS is needed as it governs the trekking in Nepal. Having a centralized database of information about hikers and hiking routes is used to keep hikers safe. It is therefore mandatory to obtain the TIMS card before starting your trek by presenting your passport and two identity photos. Make sure you have the following information when applying for a TIMS card: Entry and exit dates for the hike. You can provide a rough estimate; Entry and exit points for trekking; Trekking route; Emergency contact during your stay in Nepal ; Emergency contact information in your home country; Insurance policy number, including their contact details. The easiest way to get the TIMS in Kathmandu is to go to the Nepal Tourism Board office. How much does TIMS cost? The fee also varies depending on who is requesting it. The fees to be paid (as of April 2019) are as follows: For group hikers - NR. 1000; For free individual hikers - NR. 2,000. How to reach the start of the trek? Again, this depends on the route planned for your course. In the option offered on our site, the start of the walk is from Bhulbhule after walking from Besisahar. To reach this city, it is possible to take a bus from Pokhara or from Kathmandu (at “New bus stand ” in the northwest of the city). Where to stop the trek? After Ranipauwa, the trails give way to gravel paths heavily used by coaches, cars or motorbikes. Result: walking in these conditions means struggling not to swallow dust all day. So we stopped the trek at this place. To return to Kathmandu, we then took a bus to Jomsom where we spent one night. The next morning, we took a bus (booked the day before) to Pokhara. The journey, epic amidst laughing Nepalese watching western heads after every bump or every precipice crossed, lasts all day. After a few days of rest in Pokhara (or not), return to Kathmandu. Is there still à to eat? Along the way, there are many accommodations where it is possible to eat. For our part, we had taken some dried fruit for the day and we took breakfast and dinner in our accommodation. Can we still charge our cameras and laptop? It is possible to pay to have access to an electrical outlet in most accommodation. Otherwise we advise you to take a solar charger or an external battery.

Pour être seul au Taj Mahal, la recette est simple. Une courte nuit à Agra, une bonne orientation et un peu d’astuce. On vous explique tout. How to be alone at the Taj Mahal? To be alone at the Taj Mahal, the recipe is simple. A short night in Agra, good orientation and a bit of insight. We will explain everything to you. A small photo in front of the Taj Mahal. Without tourist. Certified without filter. All travelers hope for this moment. But beyond the non-photoshoped shot, the visitor will be especially impressed by the majestic silence of the place at sunrise. Before the crush. Meet East Gate To take advantage of this moment, there are some imperatives to follow but nothing really binding. First, you have to choose your front door. At sunrise, only the East and West gates open to visitors. Choose the east gate, it is said to be less crowded and it worked for us. Wake up at 4 a.m., head to the counter Now is the time to purchase your ticket next to the East Gate. Go there around 4:30 in the morning. The ticket office opens one hour (accurately) before sunrise. In our case, we waited a good half hour in front. It allowed us to be in first position. Be careful, impose yourself well in front of the Indian employees sent by their hotel. Because they reserve for their customers who are queuing directly in front of the front door and will pass you. The Taj Mahal, a little later The Taj Mahal solo Ticket in hand, head for the front door Once you have purchased your ticket (1100 rupees in September 2018, an increase of almost 50% since 2016!), you must go through another ticket office to collect slippers for the visit to the palace and a bottle of water. Then go to queue in front of the front door. It opens half an hour before sunrise. Travel light: camera and that's it Immediately after entering, small security check. Do not take a bag, you will have to drop it off at the locker. To be sure to pass in speed and arrive quickly in front of the palace, bring only your camera and your mobile phone. Don't stop at the first pool! After a few dozen meters of walking, you will pass a door on your right to access the garden surrounding the Taj Mahal. From here, you will finally see the palace, with a first basin just in front of you. Don't stop there. First because that's what everyone else is doing, and second because you'll get a better view as you keep going. It is therefore necessary to follow this first basin to arrive in front of the second. At this moment, you will be alone. And you can enjoy the ambient calm while admiring the light of day breaking on the Taj. Savor this moment to the fullest. Because it won't last too long. Fifteen to twenty minutes later, you will be surrounded by dozens of tourists all fidgeting to have their best selfie with the palace. From Delhi, several agencies will offer you to book your entry to the Taj Mahal. No need. Like us, you can go to the counter the morning of your visit without any problem. Price in September 2018: 1100 rupees by cash, 1000 by card but it is not known if they apply a commission.

Pour aller en Bolivie, nous avons opté pour le poste-frontière de Corumba (Brésil). Une seule recommandation : soyez patients. How and where to cross the border Brazil – Bolivia When heading to Bolivia, we opted for the Corumba border post in Brazil. Only one recommendation: be patient. The first contact is, shall we say, amazing. After a fabulous month in Brazil, the “welcome” of the Bolivians is in fact slightly less warm. At the Corumba-Puerto Quijarro border post on December 23, the instructions are clear: take your time and above all do not count on any solidarity of circumstances. Eh oui, it's time to discover the legendary friendliness of the Bolivians. Watch out for rushed taxis On the paper side, everything is going smoothly. Be careful when leaving Brazil, taxis offering to take you immediately to Bolivia. Otherwise, you may have to return to the border. On the Bolivian side, we are granted 30 days of stay and given us the small proof of immigration to keep preciously until leaving the country. Easy to file at Santa Cruz On the financial side, the taxi between the land terminal of Corumba to the border post benefits from its monopoly position: 75 reais per trip (~20€)! Once at immigration control, get your passport stamped and you are in Puerto Quijarro. If you need a taxi right away, it will cost you 10 bolivianos (~2.5€). The wallet will appreciate. Depending on your route, buses, collectivos and trains depart regularly from Puerto Quijarro to Santa Cruz. Iguaçu Falls: Argentinian or Brazilian side, which is better?

En plein centre du fort de Jaisalmer, Teju et son auberge Temple view offrent un super rooftop sur la ville. Et pour des prix très abordables. Where to sleep in Jaisalmer? Right in the center of the Jaisalmer fort, Teju and its Temple view hostel offer a great rooftop view of the city. And for very affordable prices. We liked it so we did a little advertising. On the end of our trip to Rajasthan, we spent 4 nights in Teju's hostel, Hotel Temple View, in Jaisalmer. You can sleep there for quite cheap depending on the comfort you are looking for. We got 400 rupees for two for 4 nights in a room with private bathroom. Nice view and good prices Once you have put your bags in your room, go up to the second floor. A super pleasant rooftop awaits you with a view of the Jain temple and sunset on the horizon. Regarding its menu, Teju offers quite affordable prices compared to its rooftop neighbors (thali at 100 rupees against 150 elsewhere). Although, of course, you will eat for less in the streets outside the fort. Desert option available We felt so good on this rooftop that we didn't move from there. But Teju offers desert tours at fair market entry prices (1200 rupees per person for one night with all meals included). To be discussed around a chai on the rooftop of course.

Parti pour un tour de 15 jours en Mongolie, vers l’ouest du pays puis dans le désert de Gobi, on a passé quelques jours à cheval. Pour les novices, cela devrait suffire. How long to spend on horseback? Leaving for a 15-day tour in Mongolia, towards the west of the country then in the Gobi desert, we spent a few days on horseback. For novices, this should suffice. There are many formulas. Four days in the Orkhon valley, ten days in eastern Mongolia or even three weeks traveling the steppes. All of this, of course, on horseback. Everyone will have their own idea. But, for beginners, the first option seems the most balanced. Discovery of new muscles In the middle of an organized two-week tour, we rode on horseback for four days. The ride through the Orkhon Valley was well paced and challenged some previously unknown muscles. This short passage on horseback was finally the perfect timing. Because beautiful but a bit physical. In our group of seven, some have skipped half a day. 4 days to start and then... If four days are not enough, it is always possible to add another horseback excursion to the rest of your trip. For us, four days are in any case a good initiation to discover superb landscapes without suffering too much. Before, why not, prolong the pleasure.

Accessible depuis Pékin, la muraille de Jiankou offre un superbe cadre de randos et, surtout, un magnifique spectacle au coucher du soleil. Where to see a superb sunset over the Great Wall of China? Accessible from Beijing, the Jiankou wall offers a superb setting for hiking and, above all, a magnificent spectacle at sunset. Go to the level of “ escalators of paradise ”. The portion seems slightly sloping. Several dozen steps to gain height. Quickly, very quickly. Breathless, back soaked, and staring at the top. To win his internal conflict against vertigo. The “ stairways to paradise” are well worth their informal nickname. Because they dominate the wall of Jiankou, in the middle of the mountain and very close to the sky. Up there, adrenaline gives way to ecstasy. That of a daily show. And yet unique. A portion of the wall hitherto invisible The rays of the sun begin to fade on the other side of the Wall, towards Mutianyu. The guard towers, one by one, disappear into the shadows. We must then hurry. Because the show takes place at a ten-minute walk, a stroll, alone on the Wall. Two laps later, the show takes on another face. The light of day is fading, the sun is dozing gently. Before lying down behind the mountain. Some of its persistent rays then discover a portion of the Wall hitherto invisible. The silence prolongs this moment. At nightfall, the return to the village of Xizhazi, at the foot of the Wall, takes place in a haze of wonder. Alone in the dark. Guided by the only bright memory of this setting sun. From Dongzhimen Station, take bus 916 to Huairou. From this city, then take the H25 to Xizhazi, the starting point for hikes on the Jiankou wall.
