Treasuring My Travel Memories…
It takes around 6-6.30 hours to reach Jaisalmer from Bikaner by road. This is the golden city of Rajasthan, the ‘finally dream come true’ place to enjoy the golden dessert, the red poppy sunset, the vigorous culture.. This city is surely magical.

My trip to Rajasthan started from Bikaner (though many people tend to skip this city, don’t know why!), a simple city with a shiny and vibrant look of the state, has been very refreshing. Better if the choice of cities is from simple to gradually to more royal while planning the itinerary for Rajasthan, which keeps the charm of the places in order and the child like amusement in you also gets the flow of interest at a proper pace.

Just like the vast dry land, the stories of this ancient province are also stretched along the horizon; there is a reason that the sun blazes like a flame here, because the forts are still standing high with pride like a resilient warrior, bearing the battle scars on its rock stone walls, the saga still continues, so much is talked about the valiantness, and much is still untold may be.. For me it’s still the bewildering land of well-kept secrecy veiled under the imperial royalty (or may be my partial preference for mystery is talking..), this is the land of royalty well preserved, Rajasthan.

Lotus lagoon & Pura @ Candidasa: a huge pond filled with lotus buds and huge round shaped lotus leafs in the mid of the village overlooking the blue sea. The big lemon green leafs floating on the transparent yet blue water is like a picture perfect scene.
Belanjong Temple, Sanur:
I had purposely kept one day to footslog around the town and decided to visit Pura Belanjong on foot. My apartment in Sanur was close to Parigata beach, from here it took me 25 minutes to reach Belanjong temple taking bypass road. Belanjong temple is rarely visited by tourists, a small tranquil temple, sitting here for sometimes feels really good. There is another attraction behind the temple, called Belanjong inscription. It’s a fat cement pillar, with some Sanskrit and old Balinese language carved on it. Though nothing is described at the entrance or anywhere on the temple, neither the locals are very clear of the story, the place is very quite nice anyway.
