Bassi to Bundi 15 Dec 2012

This was also a short drive today, only two hours.
The first part was highway then we turned off and once again the road was not so good with lots of pot holes and single lane in some parts.  The area is renown for stone quarries.  It went for many kms.
Stone quarries
Deepak wanted to show us a waterfall as he had never seen it.  It was just off the road to Bundi past the quarries.  Close to the waterfall the road had dropped away so we parked the car.  There were many cows walking past us.
Jim said follow the cows they might be headed our way.  It must have looked funny the three of us walking amongst a dozen or more cows, all going through the gates over the railway line.
They weren't headed for the waterfall, they veered left we needed to go straight ahead.  There was a deserted village at the waterfall, seems a shame it looked like a nice place to live as far as small Indian villages go, once it even had a school.

Notice the rubbish in the fore ground - it is everywhere



Great view point

Back out on the road to Bundi we went from barren rocky landscape to lush fields of mustard.  It is mustard season. We have seen this lining the highway the whole trip.
