Monday, March 24th – Wednesday, March 26th, 2025 World Tour Days 142 – 144 The only reasonable way to get to our hotel in Sawai Madhopur, the entrance to Ranthambore National Park, was by getting a taxi. There was one train option but it was almost the same price as the taxi and included two night trains and a 5 hour layover in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere. Our taxi driver actually fell asleep before coming to get us so he was 1 hour late, but we still arrived ahead of schedule, making our trip…

Friday, March 21st – Sunday, March 23rd, 2025 World Tour Days 139 – 141 On Friday we walked 15 minutes past piles of garbage and poop to get to the train station.

Saturday, March 8th – Sunday, March 16th, 2025 World Tour Days 126 – 134 After our flight was delayed a day we finally completed the long journey to India from Amman, Jordan. Total flight time was only 6.5 hours across two flights but our layover was over 5 hours. We arrived late in the evening to New Delhi and took an uber straight to our hotel, ready to check in and get some rest. This was the first and only major negative experience of our time in New Delhi. Overall New Delhi was way better than we imagined and we…
