And yet barely any of the Brits who come here yearly stray from the mainstream comfort zones of Jaipur, Jodhpur as well as Udaipur – the last with its clogged streets, net cafés and the gleaming white wall surfaces of the Taj Lake palace hotel, which, situated in splendid isolation out on Lake Pichola, keeps visitors at arm’s length from the “Real” Rajasthan.
