I had the opportunity to have a tour with Kukki Jr. The tour was along with a traveling group that I was apart of. Kukki was great. Along the way to the cave paintings, Kukki showed us the different birds, flora and fauna of the area. When we got to the cave, I was so impressed and this for me was the highlight of India. I was excited to hear about Kukki Sr and Kukki Jr's story and was inspired. If you go, you will see how passionate they are and it was wonderful to learn of the discoveries they have encountered. I am not sure about the cost since this was prepaid part of the tour that I was on, however, I can tell you that if you happen to be in Bundi, take the time and money to have a tour with Kukki, you won't regret it. Would recommend to wear good walking shoes, bring hat, and long pants.

We met and chatted to Yug on many occasions both in our hotel and his studio. He is very welcoming and has plenty of time for you. At no time did my wife and I feel pressured in anyway to buy anything. The quality of his artwork sells its self. We bought post cards and a silk painting which are now framed and have pride of place. Many thanks Yug and see you next time.

This ruinous palace makes a dramatic and extravagant backdrop behind and over the simple little town of Bundi, but climb up through deserted courtyards and bat infested galleries to discover hidden art. Beautiful wall paintings, some Chinese dating back hundreds of years adorn walls and ceilings of old royal apartments. Well worth the effort.

Reviewed By Debabrata19 - Mumbai, India
This attraction is on the outskirts of Bundi - ideally a 3 or 4 wheeler is recommended if you are visiting. Once you go in, there is a ticket which has to purchased. You can buy a single ticket or a composite ticket (good for 3 attractions). I would recommend buying the composite ticket. You can go in, climb the steps and sit under the cenotaph. It is very nice and cool. It is actually a Shiva temple with a shivling inside the cenotaph. I would recommend this for a visit.

Bundi has many step Wells and is famous for them. Pick your season carefully as following the monsoon, most will be full and you will see little of the steps or the depth of the well. However, the photo shown above is not in Bundi but some 150 miles north in Abhaneri, mid way between Jaipur and Agra. It is known as Chand Baori step well and is truly spectacular. Well worth a detour to visit.
