Cycle Rajasthan with Intrepid; Trip report. Day 7. Paangarh

We rode out of the hotel on through the countryside towards Chittorgarh. The condition of the roads got worse and worse as we peddled into the countryside and through villages.
After 55Km we stopped at a roadside stop for lunch.

We were heading for Paangarh, and the Deluxe Permanent Tents. At lunch as we ate our very authentic and delicious Rajasthan Thali, our guide advised us that it was a communal tent with very basic facilities; no bathroom and long drop toilets. 
This announcement did rather kill the atmosphere among the group.  We then got back on the bikes for another 22KM, then the rest of the journey was in the bus.
We arrived at the camp site in the dark, greeted by a drum and necklaces of Marigolds.
On getting out room ( or Tent) allocation, it became clear that the guides comments about a communal tent was a joke. As we all had Luxury tents with en-suite bathrooms. There was a bar and an sitting area with campfire. The buffet dinner was also very good.
The following morning, in the light, we could actually see how lovely this campsite was it was a magical spot.
