Trip to India & Nepal- Udaipur- Elephants, monkeys & camels

Some Indian cities are overrun with monkeys. The market in Udaipur appears to be no exception. Barb had a great time feeding them.

They were perched right above a snack stand which made this an easy process.

Of course I liked this one with the tiger. I just hope it got away.

And beautiful views from the windows.

And interesting if stiff looking furniture in the halls.
