Exploring through travelling has always been up my alley. Hence my inclination and passion for it drives me towards contributing to my Local Guide involvement.
Back in 2007, one of the significantly conspicuous discoveries I made, as a part of my exploration was that I could not find my home town I,e. Greater Noida (U.P.) and my native town Ladnun (Rajasthan) on Google Maps. Knowing the great significance of both the cities, I felt the need to put the both on Google Map and be benefited from, I took it on to create it on the map and mark them from scratch.
I love to travel and share my experiences with the world along with passing on important information about the local places so as to benefit others.

Mehrangarh or Mehran Fort, located in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, is one of the largest forts in India.

Inside its boundaries there are several palaces known for their intricate carvings and expansive courtyards. A winding road leads to and from the city below. The imprints of the impact of cannonballs fired by attacking armies of Jaipur can still be seen on the second gate. To the left of the fort is the chhatri of Kirat Singh Soda, a soldier who fell on the spot defending the Mehrangarh fort. Read More
