Tourists in Rajasthan usually flock to Udaipur or Jodhpur, but little Bundi has its own way with travelers, often seducing them into staying for much longer than they anticipated. Indeed, Bundi's most famous resident, Rudyard Kipling, first put Bundi on the map in the early 1900's when he became so entranced with the town that he stuck around and ended up writing the book "Kim." Kipling's experience is pretty standard for Bundi - this is the kind of place where you could imagine yourself writing a hundred different poems about the slumbering hills and mazes of streets, a place that Kipling found "beautifully lazy, doing everything in the real, true, original native way." But there is more to Bundi than the swooning it inspires in its visitors; looming over the town, Garh Palace and Taragarh Fort are dreamy, fading reminders of Bundi's dignified past.
