Exploring India's 'Blue City'
Discover Jodhpur, India, an urban sea of indigo-washed buildings located on an arid swath of land near the Thar Desert. |
July and August: India and Thailand
Doi Suthep National Park
Our explorers were excited to rent mopeds for a day to explore Doi Suthep National Park.
Chiang Mai's Walking Market
Discover Chiang Mai's famous Sunday Walking Market, where local craftspeople sell jewelry, textiles, and other unique Thai souvenirs.
Phra Nang Beach
On their second day in Railay, Long Jaunt decided to jump right in and enjoy the positive aspects of the beautiful peninsula.
Beauty and the beach resort
Long Jaunt's first encounter with the Railay peninsula left them at a loss — the beach was filled with so much beauty, but so much of it was wasted.
The Grand Palace
Explore the Grand Palace and What Phra Kaew and see why the complex remains the spiritual heart of the Thai Kingdom.
Medical tourism
With one explorer fearing a return of malaria and another curious of the local amenities, Long Jaunt made their way to a nearby hospital.
One night in Bangkok
Discover why the popular book "The Beach" describes Bangkok's Khao San Road as "the centre of the backpacking universe."
Delhi in a day
After two weeks on the road from Mumbai, Long Jaunt arrived in Delhi, the final destination of their mini-tour of India.
Coming out in Delhi
Hundreds of gay-rights activists and supporters took to the streets of New Delhi demanding the repeal of a 145-year-old Indian law that makes homosexuality illegal.
The stunning Taj Mahal
There's sight seeing — and then there's seeing the Taj Mahal. Our explorers were in awe of this iconic tomb.
The monkey palace
More monkeys! Since Long Jaunt can't get enough of "their brothers from another mother," they made their way to Galta, the Monkey Palace.
The Blue City
Discover an urban sea of indigo-washed buildings in the city of Jodhpur in the Indian state of Rajasthan.
On the way to Jodhpur
Departing Udaipur early, Long Jaunt set out on a full day of travel through the heart of Rajasthan to “The Blue City” Jodhpur, stopping at two of Rajasthan’s most stunning landmarks along the way.
The Monsoon Palace
See stunning views of the city of Udaipur from the "Monsoon Palace," the former residence of the region's royal family.
The people of Rajasthan
Donned in colorful saris, thickly-wrapped turbans, and ear-to-ear smiles, the people of Rajasthan are a compelling part of the city.
Udaipur at night
Our explorers rolled into India's most romantic city, Udaipur, on a late-night bus, catching only a tease of what the city had in store.
Old Ahmedabad
Long Jaunt explores the old city center of Ahmedabad and discovers a bustling maze of streets, food carts, and shoppers.
A malaria scare
With Thushan fading fast, Long Jaunt headed to the doctor's office for a diagnosis — but not before watching the Celtics win the NBA championship on tape delay.
Sickness sets in
Our explorers felt under the weather after an all-night bus trip from Mumbai to Ahmedabad. Thushan was hit worst of all, with a fever, body aches, and general exhaustion — early warning signs of malaria.
All aboard
Mumbai's trains are a reflection of the city itself: big, loud, and crowded. They carry more than 2 million people daily.
A Bollywood reunion
After two weeks in Sri Lanka, our explorers headed north to India and the sub-continent's largest city, Mumbai, for a mini-reunion with some old friends.
