Durch das wilde Rajasthan nach Nordindien

In the national park I got to know another really competent Indian guy. The morning started already in a chaotic way. To save the 3 euro service charge for getting the ticket for the tiger safari I went by myself to the ticket office. I had to be there at five in the morning and when I arrived there they sent me from one place to another and I had to pay two different people. I thought let’s just buy the ticket, go home for breakfast and return at 7 for the jeep safari. But they sent me directly to the jeep which was picking up different tourists in the most far away areas. At the end we passed the ticket office again at 7. Goodbye breakfast. But we were lucky because when we entered the park it took only five minutes until we spotted a huge male tiger. It crossed our way on an old gate of the Ranthambore fortress and we could take nice pictures. But when the driver tried to follow the wild cat he managed to damage the clutch of the jeep. So we got stuck for one hour in the hunting area of the tiger waiting for another jeep. Then we only had 30 minutes to drive through the park and then the visit time frame of the park was over. Asking for refund wouldn’t make sense because we should be already happy seeing the tiger…

In Dehli I picked up Tina – my first travel mate for my journey back home to Germany. Together we drove on a highway which could be also located in a wasted area in Germany. The toll costs on the Dehli-Agra express way are extremely high so the highway is quite empty that you could actually play football on the lanes. In the last days of India we visited the seventh wonder of the world – the Taj Mahal. A really stunning building.

On my way to the border of Pakistan we made a small detour to Rishikesk where the Ganga river is sometimes kind of blue. The last station was Amritsar which is only a few miles away from the border. When we arrived to the city a car came just a few meters in front of us from the road and flipped to the side. I brake and I almost hit it. I was quite happy to leave these crazy Indian roads soon and was looking forward to enter Pakistan. Many people and friends were warning me for going to this country. So I was a little bit afraid. I couldn’t know that one of the most beautiful countries with the nicest inhabitants which I experienced on my trip was in front of us.
