Sunday, March 30th – Tuesday, April 1st, 2025 World Tour Days 148 – 150 At 9:00 am we took off on our 5 hour direct flight from New Delhi to Singapore. Due to the time change we landed around 5:00 pm local time. I know I speak for both of us when I say landing in Singapore felt like a huge weight off of our shoulders. We had spent the better part of the last couple months in the most difficult to travel countries of our trip, and Singapore was the exact opposite. Before leaving the airport we explored the…

Thursday, March 27th – Saturday, March 29th, 2025 World Tour Days 145 – 147 We arrived to Agra in a taxi from Sawai Madhopur. Our hostel was a 20 minute easy walk away from the Taj Mahal on a street full of other hostels, cafes, and restaurants. We could tell this place was set up for a lot of tourists.

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. Jaipur was a stunning city with all of the historical sites but unfortunately like Delhi has a waste problem along many roads. We took the train from Jaipur at 10:10am, arriving in Jaisalmer, ‘the Golden City’, at 10:50pm. No train changes, 12.5 hours direct. Overall the train experience was a breeze compared to what we had been warned about. It was very easy to find the station, find…
