Looks like you guys had fun. I want to take my wife for an elephant ride too.
What fun!
Great photos, Rajesh! How cool to ride on an elephant.
I love elephants for some reason!
Thanks for posting this.
Visiting from Camera-critters.
Fantastic shadow shots for the day, Rajesh! I would love to ride on the elephant! And such crisp, perfect shadows! Enjoy your weekend!

What a delightful ride in historic surroundings.
Excellent perspective through this beautiful arch.
Another wonderful tour!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River.
Rajesh...I think I would want to get to the fort both by walking and by elephant ride. That scalloped archway is beautiful. Can’t wait for your next post to learn a little more about your gorgeous country.
You live in a fascinating country, Rajesh!
I've always admired those who've made the climb up for the elephant ride. I think it would make me fearful and feeling tipsy. but I still think I'd try it! lovely shadow shots. happy SSS.
I think an elephant ride would be a great way to get to the fort. But then, any way of getting there would be worthwhile.
I've always loved elephants, Rajesh. Thanks for sharing this one with us!

Nice shots. I think I would choose the elephant ride. Looks like fun.
Now, that is what I call beauty!
Please come and see my critter post. Have a great weekend!
Nice photo. I don't think there were elephants there 20 years ago. I remember a long, hot walk to the cool gardens at the top.
I love elephants, as I'm a great devotee of Lord Ganesha.
Very beautiful view through arch.
Vrinda.
nice framing in the first picture!
That's sounds interesting! I have seen this fort captured in a Tamil song long before.
Love seeing your photos, and learning
about your country.
That first photo is beautifully framed. I'd love to ride to the top on an elephant!
So nice and interesting, Rajesh!
Looks like a great place to ride the elephant and such a beautiful place.
Such interesting shots. An elephant ride sounds like an exciting thing to do. I'd probably be too afraid I'd fall off though!
I love the framing on the first photo. I have yet to experience an elephant ride.
