We took Runicha express from Old Delhi railway station, it's an approx 18 hour journey.

Also know as Mansion of Brocade Merchandise, it is a cluster of 5 havelis. The architecture is exquisite. The fort had rich history, do take a guide with you.

It is a abandoned village, which is said to be haunted, you will hear a lot different stories about the village but nobody knows the real reason for it's paranormal activity.

We reached at our base, and took the following journey on the camel, it took us one hour. We camped there for the night and the best about the experience was the sunset and the people, they have my heart.
