Photos by Som of a three day road trip from Delhi to Jaipur via Sariska, Bhangarh and Abhaneri.
Beginning: Highways in India are still evolving. We are still trying to figure out how to use our highways given the variety of transportations in use - trucks, cars, buses, three wheelers, motor bikes, scooters, cycles, bullock carts, and elephants.

Abhaneri: Chand Baori, the 8th century stepwell, is exceptionally well preserved. Not well restored, just well preserved. It is a square shaped well, fairly deep possibly the deepest stepwell in Indo-Pakistan region, with thousands of steep steps on three sides and a deep green pool at the bottom.

Barely out of Delhi, we see an elephant on the road.
