Chaotic and intense; are two words that seem to wind up in almost every description of India.
And rightfully so, that’s the allure of India and without that chaos and intensity, an adventure to this country simply wouldn’t be as life-changing as is normally the case.
But after a while, it can get exhausting, so if you’re looking for somewhere more relaxed and off-the-beaten-path, consider visiting Bundi.
Wandering Earl spent two and a half years traveling around the subcontinent, and shares with us his experience of visiting Bundi and what there is to do there.
Where is Bundi, India?
After spending a few days in Mumbai, we had no idea where else we would visit. This is most likely why nobody objected when I randomly suggested we travel to Bundi, which, apart from a text message I had received from a friend recommending it, I had never heard of.
In fact, none of us had heard of Bundi in India before and none of us even knew where it was located within this vast country.
As it happens, Bundi is a small village in the Hadoti region of the Rajasthan state. It’s located in the northwest of India.

How to Get to Bundi

There is a direct train from New Dehli to Bundi and it takes 7 hours.
We started in Mumbai, so we boarded the Firozpur-Janta Express at Mumbai’s insanely crowded Mumbai Central train station.
We were bound for Kota, the closest transportation hub to Bundi, which we now knew was situated on the eastern edge of the culturally-rich state of Rajasthan. Nineteen hours later we arrived.
How Many Days in Bundi Should You Spend?
To put it simply, we ended up spending 10 days in Bundi, finding it harder and harder to leave as the days passed.
It took barely an hour for us all to become far too captivated by Bundi’s unlike-any-other-place-in-India charm to even…
