INTO THE WILD HYUNDAI VENUE N LINE

Another day, another journey into the wilderness but this time armed with something comfortable yet loud

Like every episode of Into the Wild, we begin this one in a concrete jungle. Not just any concrete jungle but the capital city of Delhi, and let me tell you, it’s wild out there, folks! With traffic that can stampede you, pollution that could kill you and road rage that could leave you injured. It’s a jungle of its kind, so it’s ironic that to escape our jungle and daily hunt for success, we run off into the wilderness in search of some calmness in serenity. Keeping those sentiments in mind, I once again grabbed the keys of a Hyundai and headed into the biodiverse state of Rajasthan. Whoes wildlife ranks in as much tourism as the palaces of those that once hunted them? So off we went on a long, nearly 500 km long drive to Sariska Tiger Reserve in the all-new Hyundai Venue N Line. This journey was going to be long, but no one said it didn’t have to be fun.

So off we went, headed towards Jaipur, the pink city. It’s also the capital and the largest city located in the state of Rajasthan. It's got many names, like the pink city, thanks to the common shade of pink found on buildings and structures. The pink has started to look more peachy than pink, and it’s about time it got a little touch-up. Jaipur was founded in 1727 by the Kachhwaha Rajput ruler Jai Singh, who was the ruler of Amer, after whom the city was named. The city is a feast for the eyes if you’re into architecture, and watching daily streets whizz past beautiful forts, structures, and palaces is a feast for the eyes. So we stopped for a quick bite and a little bit of a shopping spree inside the dense markets of Jaipur.
