Mostly desert before lunch, but then we started climbing and found the lunch truck in a forest by a stream surrounded by monkeys who were begging for scraps from passing vehicles.
After lunch we climbed into hill country, first through a quite barren territory, then farms and hill villages. The GPS users reported that we climbed nearly 1,000 meters, including 13% slopes.
Highlight of the ride was a water buffalo-driven water pump that worked by lifting a chain of buckets. When I stopped to take pictures, the pump operator came over to visit, and wanted to try out my bike, but then decided the seat was too high!
Kumbholgarh Castle Hotel was near km 100, perched on a hill in a steep valley, on a stretch of road with a number of hotels.
