2 more days in Udaipur
Our 3rd day in Udaipur began with a visit to the beautiful Bagore ki Haveli, built in the 18th century by a former minister of the region. The entrance to the haveli is right by the Tripoliya (3-tiered gate) at Gangaur Ghat. The gate is also part of the haveli and built around the same time. We bought entry tickets and entered the haveli’s lovely courtyard. From here, the black stone Jharokhas, overlooking the courtyard, looked absolutely fantastic!

Scaling the Shatrunjaya hill
The only reason to stop at Bhavnagar is to visit the small town of Palitana, which is about 50km SW. In Palitana is Shatrunjaya hill, atop which are some of Jainism’s most important temples. LP and the internet told us that since there aren’t many places to stay in Palitana, Bhavnagar would be our best bet. So we left Ahmedabad yesterday (Monday) morning and took a 10:30am Volvo bus, run by Tanna Travels, to Bhavnagar.
