One of those stepwells was used to great effect in Tarsem’s movie The Fall (which is a glorious visual feast where clever cinematography did things that you would expect to be CGI)

- mhd 9y agoI'm traveling to India in a few weeks and The Fall is basically my itinerary. After seeing the movie, this was one of the first place I googled because I didn't immediately get what this was for. It should have been obvious, but my preconceptions of deserts/arid places is based on the middle east, where (AFAIK) there are no step wells.
- puranjay 9y agoIf you care about the aesthetic alone, then I would suggest skipping the usual spots and add these to your itinerary: 1. Udaipur, Rajasthan (everything about this city is beautiful) 2. Orchha, particularly the "chattris" next to the river. 3. Khajuraho (the temples are stunning in the right weather)
- piyush_soni 9y agoI'm from Udaipur, Rajasthan. @mhd, shoot up if you have any questions about it. :)
- saiya-jin 9y agoalso Jodhpur (the fortress on the hilltop is really impressive) and Jaisalmer (to add proper desert experience, unique for India)
