DAY 10 - UDAIPUR After breakfast we decided to visit a Tibetan market located in the south of Udaipur and then make our way back via a couple of the city's main sites. It was refreshing to experience a marketplace which had set-prices for its goods and a relaxed and unconfrontational atmosphere, the hassle that we had been constantly receiving evaporating the moment we set foot in the square.
