And frequent stone (marble and granite) quarries.

The land is becoming drier.

I've yet to have a close look at the rails.

90% of the 65,000 km network is broad gauge. 5ft 6in.

Presumably the gauge one uses when there are few needs for sharp bends.

Always the women, carrying collected dung in baskets on their heads.

This one is metal, but we've seen wicker.

We hoped they were somehow waterproof.

There is no beef eaten in India. The cattle are sacred and roam freely.

Along with dogs.

And a few modern cement works.

We missed them at Udaipur.

The cab of this truck was submerged in a large puddle.

Sent a shiver down our spines.

Coal fired.

We think some of the fly ash is used in cement works.

Odd to see marble as we haven't seen any limestone.

From the size of the mullock heaps and the procession of trucks there must be a big hole in the ground.

Dual carriageway, and very little traffic.

Closer inspection, they are steel, with a concrete outer.

This tanker is carrying 98% sulphuric acid.

Not sure where from or where to.

Maybe there's a copper or nickel mine around somewhere.

The hill is a few km long with wall all the way round.

A Royal Enfield.

England sold the factory to India many moons ago.

It took us 5 "asks" to find the hotel.
