Friday 26 December
Our pick-up from our hotel was at 1000 and all arranged via the internet with http://rajasthantourbycaranddriver.com. Mr Singh ably arranged and our Innova was ready.
A quick scan of the Lonely Planet revealed that there are two routes to Jaisalmer - so we decided on the northern route via Osian,Kichan and Phalodi.
OSIAN - Our first stop was at the Mahavira Temple
KICHAN
This is definitely a 'one horse dorp’ and is famous as the villagers put feed out for the migratory Demoiselle Cranes who winter here from Siberia. When we arrived the cranes were gracefully feeding but after 5 mins a tour bus arrived and the travellers proceed to run amok and so the cranes took flight - who could blame them !!!
