out noon, Nachana provides one room for luggage, shower) and in the evening take
the o/n train to Jodhpur (here I have a suggestion : the o/n train reaches
Jodh at 0520 hrs and you may be really fagged and drowsy and can do
little. Or take another train leaving Jsl. at 1530 hrs and reaches
Jodh. at 2230 hrs. Then you can have a good night's sleep at Indrashan and be
fresh next morning.). |
