Arriving in Kota
Kota sits on the Chambal in southern Rajasthan, and is as often a coaching-college city as a tourist one — a good share of the traffic here is families visiting students. The riverfront and the old palace are the sights; Bundi, which is smaller and quieter, is about 40 km away. Kishore Sagar lake and the Chambal Garden are in the city itself; the Garadia Mahadev viewpoint over the Chambal gorge is a drive out.
Drops in Kota are made to the address you give — Talwandi, Rajeev Gandhi Nagar, Landmark City, Kunhadi, Mahaveer Nagar and Vigyan Nagar among them, and to Kota Junction railway station and Nayapura bus stand for an onward train, bus or flight.
The drive is 745 km from Haridwar, and the driver takes you to the address you give rather than to a stand.
