The experience

The air felt cool when we met at Gurjar Gathi just after six: Jaipur’s streets were still waking up, chai stalls barely open. Our guide, Rakesh, handed out bottled water and gave us a quick rundown of the route. He grew up nearby and seemed to know every twist in the path. We set off as the sky started to lighten, following a trail that wound through patches of wild grass and rocky outcrops.

It wasn’t long before we left behind the city noise. The only sounds were our footsteps and the distant bleating of goats: turns out there are shepherds who live right along these hillsides. Rakesh pointed out a few birds I’d never seen before, bright flashes darting between branches. The climb was steady but not too tough. Anyone with basic fitness could manage it. We paused at a bend where you could smell damp earth from last night’s rain, and watched sunlight spill over the Pink City below.

By the time we reached Nahargarh Fort, the view was something else: soft morning light on old stone walls, Jaipur spread out like a faded map. There were just a handful of other hikers around. It felt peaceful, almost private. On the way back down, we passed a small stream (you might want sturdy shoes, it gets slippery). I caught myself grinning for no reason at all. Sometimes you just need to get outside your usual routine.
