Fusion food, German beer and a kickass Sufi night. That pretty much sums up my incredible experience at Factory, by Sutra. A co-working space and brewery set against a Factory theme is among the most happening places among the many breweries at Sector 29. Spread over three floors, the majestic space, dim lighting and rustic ambiance teamed with a feet tapping playlist will set you to your party shoes just right. The jute ropes, retro frames and gorgeously done bar and old school couches gave me excitement jitters.
The amounts in this guide are listed in Indian Rupees and U.S. dollars, simply because the vast majority of my readers are from the U.S. And, as always, I do not accept comps or press trips, so everything listed in this post is something I personally paid for with my own money.
Bundi: I loved our accommodation in Bundi! We booked at this homestay at a cost of $19 a night, I was sold. We had a beautiful room with an incredible view over the fort and palace. The owners were so welcoming and it was in a perfect location. Bundi is home to uniformly terrible accommodation, so this homestay is basically the only decent place in town. And the homemade dinners? Phenomenal!
Jaisalmer: I chose this wonderful guesthouse in Jaisalmer at a cost of $45 a night. Jaisalmer is home to a living fort, which means you can stay inside its walls. As cool as that sounds, I strenuously recommend not doing so. The hotels are damaging the walls of the fort due to excessive water usage, and the Indian government is even trying to pay hotel owners to leave in order to protect the complex. The guesthouse we stayed in was a 5-minute walk to the fort and I loved being able to look out on to it. The staff were so chilled-out and kind, and they helped us book a kickass tour to the desert and ghost town. Our room was gorgeous and spacious, and the rooftop terrace had a great view of the city. I loved it.
12Go Asia is my favourite travel discovery from the trip, as it made booking trains online so easy! My tip is to aim to book the most important and longest legs of your trip three months in advance, which is when tickets are released. I waited until several weeks before my departure date to book the trains and all of the ones I wanted to take were fully booked.
Uber and Ola (the Indian version of Uber) are also game-changers for India travel. They also make haggling with rickshaw drivers so easy. Just open up Uber to see what the cost would be, and then you have a maximum price for the journey. Just showing the rickshaw drivers that it was 200 rupees on Uber made a huge difference and had them dropping their prices immediately. Or, of course, you can just take Ubers around the cities, as keep you isolated from the pollution for a while.
This year, I started using Airalo, which sells local e-SIM cards for travellers. What that means is that you can buy a virtual SIM card online before you arrive in India, and then as soon as you land in the country, can switch on your data and start using it.
Travel insurance will cover you if your flight is cancelled and you need to book a new one, if your luggage gets lost and you need to replace your belongings, if you suddenly get struck down by appendicitis and have to be hospitalised, or discover a family member has died and you need to get home immediately. If you fall seriously ill, your insurance will cover the costs to fly you home to receive medical treatment.
As usual, a great post to be bookmarked!
1) Were the guest houses significantly cheaper than the hotels, or were they just where you preferred to stay?
2) Did you generally pay in Rupees, and if so, what is the best way to convert your money?
Love reading these. We are a couple (55 and 60 ) four grown up kids and first grandson is now three.
Been planning our RTW trip for so many years now.

Thank you and Hapoy New Year !
Hi Lauren, High Five to you for enjoying life to its fullest.
I loved Jaipur and would love to go back to explore the Rajasthan. It is my dream to explore India for a year. Did you buy the entrance tickets, commute tickets, and hotel booking in advance? Thank you.

In an already male-driven industry, the number of women in the field of architecture has fallen. According to The Architect Journal's Women in Architecture Survey, the number dropped from 28 percent in 2009 to 21 percent in 2011. Some of the difficulties that may have attributed to this could be anything from a woman having children to sexual discrimination to the wish for a higher pay check. According to Washington, D.C.-based architect Suzane Reatig, "Women leave architecture because the workplace does not adjust to allow them to return after having children and allow for a balanced family and work life." It may seem like there isn't much to celebrate when even the D.C. chapter of the American Institute of Architects is low on gender diversity (26 percent), but the growth over the decades has been exponential. It was only 50 years ago that the number of women architects was at 2 percent. Additionally, the majority of architecture projects in Washington, D.C. are run by the federal government, which offers set-asides for women- and minority-owned firms. From the only woman out of 11 to found the American Society of Landscape Architects (Beatrix Farrand) to a woman who has completely transformed the Shaw neighborhood (Suzane Reatig) to a woman who has influenced the shaping of downtown D.C. in more ways than imaginable (Yolanda Cole), here is a list of the 10 most kickass women architects who are based in Washington, D.C.
1. Rose Ishbel Greely (1887 - 1969)
Rose Greely was the first licensed female architect in Washington, D.C. In 1920, she was one of the first graduates at the Cambridge School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture. After receiving certificates in both disciplines, she worked for architect Horace W. Peaslee before opening her own landscape architecture firm in 1925. Greely designed gardens, military facilities, schools, embassies, and museums. She also served as a Fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects.
2. Fay Kellogg (1871 - 1918)
Described as "the foremost woman architect in the United States," Fay Kellogg studied in Columbian University (now known as George Washington University) in Washington, D.C. to become a doctor. After going to Pratt Institute to pursue a career in architecture, she began to specialize in steel construction and establish her own office in 1903.
3. Gertrude Sawyer (1895-1996)
After opening her own architectural firm in Georgetown in the 1930s, Gertrude Sawyer focused on historic restoration. She previously worked as a designer for architect Horace W. Peaslee and studied at the University of Illinois and the Cambridge School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture. According to the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, Sawyer's most prominent work is the Point Farm complex in Calvert County, Maryland, a 26-building complex that is now used as a park and museum.
4. Beatrix Farrand (1872 - 1959)
Over the course of Beatrix Farrand's life, she was commissioned to design roughly 110 gardens, including Dumbarton Oaks. She was also commissioned to design The White House's East Colonial Garden and the West Garden, now known as the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden and the White House Rose Garden, respectively. Farrand was the only woman out of the 11 founding members of the American Society of Landscape Architects.
5. Chloethiel Woodard Smith (1910 - 1992)
Chloethiel Woodard Smith is one of the first women to become well known in American architecture and one of the most influential builders of Washington, D.C. after World War I. She founded her architectural firm, Smith & Satterlee, in 1950, which later became the largest female-run architectural firm in the nation. Smith worked on the creation of Reston, VA in the 1960s and developed urban renewal projects as the master planner and architect of the Washington Southwest Urban Renewal Area Project. She was later awarded the Centennial Award from the Washington American Institute of Architects in 1989 and served on the boards of the Kennedy Center, the President's Council, and the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts.
6. Suman Sorg
After founding Sorg Architects in 1986, Suman Sorg has gone on to receive 26 awards from the American Institute of Architects. Sorg has renovated five Washington, D.C. public schools, designed 11 embassy compounds for the Department of State, and constructed several condominiums on U Street, according to Washington Business Journal. She has studied at the School of Planning and Architecture in New Delhi, India as well as Howard University and Cornell University.
