Bharatpur Diaries: Day 2 – Lassi, Maggi & The Road to Jaipur

It’s been a while since my last post; life’s been a mix of college, moving to a new city, and a whole lot of change in between. But that’s a story for another post (coming soon 👀). For now, let’s rewind to something a little lighter, the second (and equally beautiful) day of our Bharatpur trip.

Morning Calm

We woke up to the softest morning light streaming through our window — the kind that makes you want to just sit by the sill and breathe it in. Bharatpur had a stillness that was rare and comforting, and we decided to enjoy it slowly before hitting the road.

Breakfast Goals: Badam Lassi & Masala Maggi

Before leaving, we stopped by a cozy roadside café that quickly became a favourite. Served in traditional clay kulhads, the badam lassi was rich, creamy, and perfectly chilled, a sweet start to the day.

But the real star? A bowl of spicy Maggi, loaded with green peas, chillies, and street-style masala. It was simple but somehow perfect - the kind of comfort food that always hits the spot when you’re travelling. Between sips of lassi and bites of Maggi, we chatted, laughed, and stretched breakfast into brunch without even realizing it.

From Bharatpur to Jaipur – The Open Road

By late morning, it was time to say goodbye to Bharatpur. We packed up, put on our travel playlist, and set out on the road trip to Jaipur. The drive was lined with open fields and dusty roads that glowed under the sun - one of those scenic stretches that makes silence feel meaningful.

Our Bharatpur leg was short but wholesome, from forts and birds to chaat, lassi, and Maggi mornings. As we reached Jaipur in the evening, the change of pace was immediate. The calm of Bharatpur gave way to Jaipur’s lively charm - pink walls, busy streets, and the hum of a city that never seems to slow down.
