There’s no way to get to India from the United States without some discomfort. The 15-hour flight and nine-and-a-half-hour time difference had me in a fugue state when I arrived in Delhi. But in this benighted political year, I was nevertheless optimistic that my destination, Jaipur, would soothe my existential blues, at least for a time.
Though I am no yogi, my last assignment in India was touring yoga retreats in the north. In all my travels there, I had yet to experience Rajasthan and its fairy-tale capital. This trip was crafted to precision by the pros at Scott Dunn, the gold standard in bespoke travel. After a day of recovery, I met up with my driver, Bharwan Singh. We took the new, eight-lane Delhi-Mumbai Expressway five hours south to Jaipur.
