#41 BUNDI PALACE, FORT AND HOW TO MAKE THE BEST MASALA CHAI

Описание: We've taken a couple of the public buses in India now and they aren't as bad as I first imagined. Sure the seats are worn and they have never been cleaned EVER and they are held together with rust but they get us from A to B cheaply. Adjmer to Bundi was 5 hours and cost 320 INR

We were staying at Haveli Katkoun which was the biggest room we have ever had and for only 800 INR. We had a bay window and even a seating area which we don't normally get on a backpacker budget.

The main tourist attraction in Bundi is the Palace and Fort. We spent a whole day having a good look round and taking in the views over Bundi. The Palace isn't best looked after and is kind of falling apart. In a whimsical way it kind of added to the charm of the place.

We visited a chai shop in Bundi who claims to have the best masala chai we will ever have. I have to say, from the get go I believe him. We don't normally see the chai stalls make the chai from scratch but this guy gets the spices, turns them into powder on the floor in front of him using a rock and throws it in the pot with milk. He gets it boiling to make sure the masala really works and has a special way of pouring it. It was awesome. Definitely the best masala chai we've ever had.

We watched the sunset from one of the roof top bars and I had a desert called Hello to the Queen. I've had a few of these in India and OMG they are amazing. Its kind of like a broken shortbread biscuit, fried in butter then hot banana, chocolate, condensed milk and ice cream are added. For a massive bowl it only costs 80 INR. I have to stop eating so many though!

The following morning we started the day at a road side stall with a couple of samosas and chai's. We had a wander round the big lake before heading to another roof top restaurant for a thali. We decided to treat ourselves and have a fancy special thali which included 3 curries, rice, pakoras, puri breads, salad and an indian doughnut thing. A huge tray of food for 160 INR (£1.89).
