India 39

The dogs in Rajasthan tended to be wild and living peacefully amongst people. They scavenge and hunt smaller animals such as piglets (also wild) in the streets. They packed and howled in the night and slept during the day. I remember seeing of a pack feasting on a dead cow while children filed past in neat school uniforms.

We hired a driver and car for much of the journey. $60 a day (plus very generous tips) covered all cost including the car hire, driver's wages, accommodation, food, fuel and road taxes. We were able to stop anywhere and go to very remote places. One day we travelled for 10 hours and it cost us no more. The driver (Ramesh) was a lovely man and we have a friend for life.
