Unfortunately, I don't think many people are interested. I won't have time to finish it.

Thank you so much for introducing me to a new region. And once again, you’ve made me want to go see it for myself.

There, I just finished reading this travel journal in one go. At least with you, it’s a quick read! It’s more like a photo album than a journal... but to each their own style...

But actually, I have a question about your photos. They’re much better quality than in your other journals. Did you get a new camera?

Thanks again for this beautiful photo report.

In Chhattisgarh, I mostly used my phone.

There’s an unclosed «

unfortunately I don’t get the feeling this interests many people. I won’t have time to finish it.

You didn’t answer...😉

Amazing travel journal, congratulations! Thanks for introducing us to some lesser-known regions of the country. My last trip to India was back in early 2020, and it seems things have changed since you mentioned, "It's getting more and more complicated to visit historical sites in India as a foreign tourist with their scan-and-pay payment systems." Could you tell us more about this system? Thanks in advance...

Hi, Sorry for the late reply. First of all, thanks for reading this travel journal. To answer your question, more and more sites no longer have a ticket counter where you could buy the entry ticket. There’s a sign with a QR code scanner that allows Indians to purchase the ticket. You’ll need to ask an Indian to do it for you—they’ll send it to your phone, and you pay them. The guards at the entrance are vigilant and will help you. It’s more complicated, but you’ll manage.

Thanks for your reply. I understand better now. Maybe it’s the government’s way of limiting embezzlement of the collected funds? Given the cost of labor in India, I don’t see any other explanation...
