Jodhpur, commonly known as the blue city, is the former capital of Marwar located in the state of Rajasthan in India. The charming city is termed as the blue city due to the iconic houses that are painted blue. As you view the city from a height, you’ll see why it’s famously called the blue city. Since Jodhpur is a small city, all the sightseeing spots here can be covered within a couple of days. Thus this Jodhpur travel guide contains a 2 day Jodhpur itinerary covering the best places to visit in Jodhpur in 2 days. Let me know what you think of this in the comments below. Apart from this 2 day Jodhpur itinerary, if you're interested in seeing more pictures of my trip to Rajasthan, then head over to my Instagram profile ( @thespicyjourney ).

Jodhpur Itinerary for 2 Days

Jodhpur city or the blue city has an iconic fort and palace, stunning sunrise and sunset viewpoints, beautiful structures and some really great restaurants and shopping opportunities. With all that being said, I’ve compiled all of the best places to visit in Jodhpur in 2 days within this travel guide to Jodhpur city. This Jodhpur itinerary has been designed to help you cover all the sightseeing places in Jodhpur so that you can enjoy everything that the blue city has to offer!

Best Time to Visit Jodhpur Rajasthan

• Summer (April - June): All of Rajasthan becomes unbearably hot during the summer season. Sightseeing during these months can be really difficult so it’s best to avoid visiting Jodhpur during the summer season.
• Monsoon (July - September): The rainy months from July to September bring relief from the heat but the downpours can turn the streets muddy.
• Winter (October - March): The winter months are a good time to visit Jodhpur, particularly in October-November as well as February-March when the temperature is neither too hot nor too cold. The early and late winter months are the best time to visit Jodhpur city.

How to Reach Jodhpur Blue City

Nearest airport to jodhpur.

Jodhpur has its own domestic airport which is located just over 5 km from the city center. The Jodhpur airport is well connected to other cities within Rajasthan as well as to major cities within India such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, etc.

Nearest Railway Station to Jodhpur

Jodhpur also has a railway station called the Jodhpur junction railway station which is located within Jodhpur city. There are trains connecting Jodhpur to various big cities as well as small towns and villages within India. Taking a train is a convenient way to reach the blu city of Jodhpur.

Delhi to Jodhpur

The distance between Delhi and Jodhpur is 585 km which can be covered via air, rail or road. There are regular direct flights, trains as well as overnight buses from Delhi to Jodhpur and vice-versa.

Jaipur to Jodhpur

The distance of 330 km between Jaipur and Jodhpur can be covered by rail or road. You can easily find direct trains and state-run government buses as well as private buses connecting Jodhpur to Jaipur city within a span of 5-6 hours.

Udaipur to Jodhpur

Udaipur to Jodhpur is a short distance of 244 km which is easy to cover by train or by road. A bus ride from Udaipur to Jodhpur would take 5 hours whereas this distance can be covered by train in a short time span of 4 hours

Jaisalmer to Jodhpur

Once again, this short distance of 281 km from Jaisalmer to Jodhpur is covered by road in 4.5 hours or by train in 4 hours. I took an air-conditioned private bus between the cities which was a comfortable way to travel between Jodhpur and Jaisalmer.

Pushkar to Jodhpur

The distance of 186 km between Pushkar and Jodhpur can be covered by road in less than 4 hours by road. Alternatively, you can take a train from the Ajmer railway station, which is 10 km from Pushkar city, to Jodhpur junction.

Getting Around Jodhpur

Jodhpur is a small city that can be covered via foot. Almost all of the popular sightseeing places in Jodhpur such as the old city, Mehrangarh fort, Jaswant Thada, clock tower, toorji ka jhalra, etc are located in close proximity to one another. Nonetheless, in order to visit places like Umaid Bhavan palace as mandore gardens, you will need to hire a tuk-tuk for half a day. Moreover, there is uber and ola available in Jodhpur so there are various options available for getting around Jodhpur city.

Where to Stay in Jodhpur

When it comes to finding hotels in Jodhpur, I recommend staying close to the old city of Jodhpur which is in close proximity to the Mehrangarh fort. This way you will be close to the majority of sightseeing spots and you’ll get a majestic view of the Mehrangarh fort.

Zostel Jodhpur

The view from the rooftop of Zostel Jodhpur

Zostel Jodhpur is a backpacker hostel that has dorms as well as private rooms. While there are so many wonderful things I can say about my stay here at Zostel Jodhpur, the best part was the prime location. Located right next to the toorji ka jhalra stepwell, Zostel Jodhpur overlooks the towering Mehrangarh Fort which is a mere 10-minute walk from the hostel. Moreover, the blue houses, Jaswant Thada, and the sunrise viewpoint are also all a 10-15 minute walk from the hostel.

Check Availability at Zostel Jodhpur on Booking.com

Hotels in Jodhpur

In case you are looking for a hotel in Jodhpur, and not a hostel, in Jodhpur city, consider finding a hotel close to the Mehrangarh fort area. This will allow you to easily access all the places to visit in Jodhpur without having to take a tuk-tuk or cab. Also, try to prefer a hotel that comes with a rooftop overlooking the Mehrangarh fort because that's a view you're not going to want to miss. Believe me.

Jodhpur Itinerary - Best Places to Visit in Jodhpur in 2 Days

Day 1 of jodhpur itinerary for 2 days.

You will begin your Jodhpur trip by watching an epic sunrise over the blue city, exploring the blue houses, visiting palaces, and alluring gardens.

1. Pachetia Hill Sunrise Spot

Start day 1 of your two days in Jodhpur by waking up early for sunrise at the pachetia hill. This hill is commonly known as the Jodhpur sunrise spot for witnessing a panoramic view of the blue city. In order to reach here, you will have to walk through the blue houses of Jodhpur then take the stairs that go up to the hill. Try to reach here just a little before sunrise so that you can experience a magical sunrise over the blue city Jodhpur.

Open 24 hours

2. Blue City

Even though Jodhpur is called the blue city, finding blue houses isn't an easy task. There is a specific area inside Jodhpur which is called “old city” or “blue city” where you will find the houses. The area is a 10-minute walk from the clock tower. Just ask any local for directions and they’ll be able to guide you. Moreover, if you’re going to pachetia hill, you will pass through the narrow lanes of the blue city to get there. Talk about killing two birds with one stone.

3. Toorji ka Jhalra

Toorji ka jhalra is an ancient stepwell located in Jodhpur. It is actually a popular sightseeing as well as a hangout spot for locals and youngsters. Due to this reason, I recommend visiting the stepwell in the early hours of the morning before it gets too crowded with tourists and locals. Keep in mind that the stairs of the stepwell can be slippery so walk around carefully and try to stay in the upper section where there isn’t any moss or algae.

Open: 24 hours

4. Umaid Bhawan Palace

Umaid bawan palace is a famous place that has now been turned into a luxury hotel. Popularly recognized as the place where Indian actress Priyanka Chopra married the American sweetheart Nick Jonas, the palace is an opulent structure that is open to visitors. Tourists can pay a small fee to view the luxury car collection here and also to take a tour of a small section of the palace which is kept open to visitors. I was slightly disappointed that visitors could only access a couple of rooms that only had a few paintings and relics. If you’re short on time, I would advise skipping this palace out of all the other places to visit in Jodhpur in 2 days. Do note that there is ample free parking available here.

Open: Mon-Sun 9 am to 5 pm 

Entrance fee: INR 30 for Indians, INR 100 for foreigners, INR 10 for kids aged 5-11 years

5. Mandore Gardens

Mandore is a collection of beautifully landscaped gardens, temples, and historical structures located not very far from the Umaid Bhawan Palace, and 9 km from Jodhpur city. The Mandore gardens are the perfect place to walk around and take pictures during sunset on day one of your two day Jodhpur itinerary for sightseeing.

Open Mon-Sun 8 am to 8 pm

Entrance fee: None for the garden; INR 50 for museum

6. Rooftop Dinner for Night View of Mehrangarh Fort

End your first day of sightseeing in Jodhpur by having dinner at a rooftop cafe or restaurant overlooking the majestic Mehrangarh fort. The fort is lit up between sunset till 9.30 pm in the night. Try to get a nice comfy seat at a restaurant before that, in order to enjoy your dinner with a breathtaking view. Since I stayed at Zostel Jodhpur, which had a two-level rooftop cafe with the most amazing view of the Mehrangarh Fort, I dined there itself in the night.

DAY 2 OF JODHPUR ITINERARY FOR 2 DAYS

On your second day in Jodhpur blue city, you will explore the grand Mehrangarh Fort, the clock tower area, indulge in some shopping and discover the secret sunset viewpoint.

1. Mehrangarh Fort

Start the second day of your Jodhpur tour by visiting the striking Mehrangarh fort as soon as it opens in the morning. This iconic fort, which was built by Rao Jodha in 1438, defines the landscape of Jodhpur city. For this reason, spare at least 2 hours to walk around and explore all the sections of the fort. The best part about visiting the fort, though, is the entrance of the fort where local folk singers and music players sit there and perform. It’s a heartwarming start to the tour of the Mehrangarh fort. Inside the fort, you will get to see the way the royals used to live their life in opulence and wealth. Do not miss climbing up to the beautiful sheesh mahal (mirror room) and other grand sections of the palace. Visitors can also dine at and shop inside the fort.

Open: Mon-Sun 9 am to 5 pm

2. Jaswant Thada

Jaswant Thada is just a short walk from the Mehrangarh fort. This cenotaph or mausoleum, built by Maharaja Sardar Singh in 1899 in memory of his father, is also termed as the Taj Mahal of Mewar due to the white marble that was used for constructing the structure. Just like the Mehrangarh fort, there is a local artist who sits and performs at the entrance of Jaswant Thada. While you’re visiting this place during your 2 day Jodhpur itinerary, don’t forget to look back and notice the impressive view of the Mehrangarh fort against the city of Jodhpur.

Open: Mon-Sun 9 am to 6 pm

3. Statue of Rao Jodha

Rao Jodha, also known as Jodha of Mandore, was a Rajput ruler of Mandore. He founded the blue city of Jodhpur in 1459 and named it after himself. The statue of Rao Jodha is situated close to the Jaswant Thada as well as the Mehrangarh fort. It looks particularly beautiful on a full moon night, lit up against the dark sky.

4. Clock Tower

The clock tower of Jodhpur is an iconic structure that is at the confluence of the new and old city. While you can go up the clock tower, what’s more exciting is the massive line-up of shops selling traditional clothing, jewelry, and curios along with the many little restaurants and street food stalls serving popular local food, snacks, and desserts. This area is always lively and the perfect place to indulge in some food binging as well as shopping sessions.

5. Jodhpur's Famous Omelet Stall

This may sound weird but there is a special famous stall in Jodhpur that sells the most delicious omelets. It is said that this little stall used to make a variety of dishes until Lonely Planet magazine featured their place in one of their guides for selling the world's best omelets. Since then, the demand for omelets grew to such an extent that this is the only dish that they prepare here. They have a wide variety of options to choose from. Each omelet comes with 4 pieces of bread, and two sets of omelets inside them. I particularly loved the Spanish masala cheese omelet.

6. Shopping in Jodhpur

As mentioned earlier, the area surrounding the clock tower is the perfect place to indulge in shopping sessions and to find souvenirs to bring back to your friends and family. Here you’ll find traditional clothing items such as gota patti dupattas, bandhani skirts and sarees, jewelry, home decor pieces, and little curios ranging from fridge magnets to badges and stickers. There are countless shops to choose from.

7. Sunset Viewpoint

While this is a slightly controversial place, it would be unfair to exclude it from my Jodhpur itinerary for 2 days. This hilltop is located behind the Mehrangarh fort and is truly the best place to witness the sunset in Jodhpur. Now, when I visited this Jodhpur sunset spot, there were quite a few tourists and locals here. However, some people told me that on another day, the cops came here and asked people to vacate the area which is closed to visitors. It’s best to verify this information with your hotel or hostel before visiting.

Food to Try in Jodhpur

Ah, the food! When in Rajasthan, you cannot miss trying the famous local delicacy daal baati churma. I also tried pyaaz ki kachori , samosa and a dessert called rabdi in Jodhpur.

Where to Eat in Jodhpur Rajasthan

There are way too many restaurants in Jodhpur to try local dishes there. Bhawani is famous for its Rajasthani food. There is also a famous omelet stall near the clock tower, which was featured in a lonely planet guide. Just ask any local to point you in the direction of the stall. Shahi samosa is a little restaurant also near the clock tower that serves the best kachori and samosa that I’ve ever tasted.

Top 13 Things to Do in Jodhpur, Rajasthan

Jodhpur, the second-largest city in Rajasthan (albeit pleasingly unspoiled by haphazard development), has a fascinating past. Located on the edge of the Thar desert, about 155 miles from the border with Pakistan, Jodhpur is, in fact, where the eponymous pants got their name from! These unusual pants were designed by the Maharaja of Jodhpur's son, Pratap Singh, and worn by his polo team when visiting the Queen of England in 1897. It is famous for its blue buildings, initially painted to signify that they were occupied by Brahmins, the highest caste in India.

This list of top Jodhpur attractions and places to visit will give you a diverse city experience. Jodhpur Heritage Walk conducts an immersive three- to four-hour guided tour through the city. If you have a spare day or two, visit nearby Bishnoi village or Osian, where you can see carved temples and go on a less-touristy camel safari. 

Explore Mehrangarh Fort

Imposing Mehrangarh Fort, which rises above the "Blue City," is one of the largest and most famous forts . As impressive as it is, as a well-preserved heritage structure, there's so much more to discover inside. The fort has been privately restored, and its museum has an outstanding display of royal memorabilia, including about 15,000 items from Maharaja Gaj Singh II's collection. It also has the only professional museum shop in India. The cultural performances that happen daily at various places inside the fort, as part of the particular focus on folk art and music, are another highlight. Plan your visit with this complete guide to Mehrangarh Fort .

Want a romantic evening dinner? The Chokelao Mahal Terrace restaurant serves traditional Rajasthani cuisine, which sparkles below. The Fort is also an evocative setting for music festivals. Don't miss the annual Rajasthan International Folk Festival in October and World Sufi Spirit Festival in February .

Ride the Jodhpur Flying Fox

Adventure lovers can't pass up the unique opportunity to zip-line with Mehrangarh Fort as the backdrop. The circuit has six zip lines and takes around 90 minutes to complete. Groups of up to 12 people depart at appointed times. It's located on the north side of the Mehrangarh Fort.

Relax at Jaswant Thada

In honor of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II, this intricately crafted cenotaph (empty commemorative tomb) was built in 1899. It features white marble lattice screens and whimsical domes, while the inside is adorned with portraits of Rathore rulers. It's a peaceful place to relax and enjoy stunning views of the Fort and city. Many a tired tourist sprawls on the front lawn to recuperate after sightseeing.

Wander Through Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park

The Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park was developed in 2006 to restore the natural ecology of a large rocky wasteland area next to the Fort. Neglected for many years, the park was overrun by an invasive thorny shrub. After the bush was eradicated, more than 80 native species of rock-loving plants from the Thar desert were grown there. The Park extends 70 hectares (around 200 acres) of rehabilitated land and has a walking trail. It's interesting to explore at different times of the year, as its foliage changes with the seasons.

Check Out the Clock Tower and Old City Markets

A trip to Jodhpur wouldn't be complete without visiting the bustling Old City. Many people choose to stay in this area, too, as some of the best budget hotels in Jodhpur are located there and have fabulous Fort views. The Old City's famous landmark, the clock tower, stands at the heart of it—and it's still working! Next to it, Sadar Market retains a traditional village bazaar feel. It's chaotic and colorful and sells almost everything, including handicrafts, spices, saris, and fabric. If you feel uncomfortable in crowds, you might prefer to take a walking tour rather than explore the market area yourself, as the congestion can be overwhelming. These walking tours offered by Jodhpur Magic and Virasat Experiences are two recommended options.

Dine Overlooking the Step Well

Travel and Still life photography/Getty Images

An exciting Urban Regeneration Project is being undertaken to transform the Old City into its former glory, but with a vibrant and hip spin. As a result, Jodhpur has a newly restored yet ancient stepwell, located just north of the clock tower. Built in the 1740s and called Toorji ka Jhalra, it sat stagnant for years until the owners of the new heritage boutique RAAS hotel purified the pool and sandblasted the steps. The area has been turned into a contemporary square with cool cafes and shops, including a Good Earth home decor store and a branch of Jaipur-based Gem Palace. A secret door at the RAAS hotel will take you directly to Step Well Square. Step Well Cafe has the same owners as RAAS and provides the best view over the stepwell. It serves Continental and Indian cuisine, plus alcohol. However, its menu is quite limited.

Stroll Along the Streets of the Blue City

Unlike the crowded clock tower area, the blue part of Jodhpur behind the fort, known as Navchokiya, is refreshingly quiet and devoid of tourists. Don't miss spending some time leisurely strolling along its streets. It's also possible to go on a guided walking tour of the area to learn more about it. You can even stay amid the blue houses: Some of the top options in the area are  Singhvi's Haveli ,  Jewel Palace Haveli , Rani Mahal, and Jaswant Bhawan Homestay .

Tour the Area Around Gulab Sagar

About 10 minutes walk north of Toorji ka Jhalra stepwell is Gulab Sagar. This 18th-century lake played an essential role in Jodhpur's traditional water management system. Not only does it provide a superb spot for photographing Mehrangarh Fort in the background, but there are also many interesting step wells and temples hidden in the lanes around it. They include Mahila Bagh Ka Jhalra step well and Kunjabihari Temple dedicated to Lord Krishna. You can discover them on this Step Wells and Temples walking tour .

Marvel at Umaid Bhawan Palace

Magnificent Umaid Bhawan Palace, completed in 1944, was one of India's last grand palaces to be built. The royal family of Jodhpur still occupies a section of it. Most of the remainder has been converted into a luxurious palace hotel, and unfortunately, it's off-limits to anyone who's not staying there. If you can't afford $600 or more per night for a room, you can still get a glimpse inside the palace by having a pricey dinner at one of its restaurants or visiting the museum. The museum mainly displays old photos of the Maharaja and his family. There's a vintage watch and car collection as well. If you're into that kind of thing, it's worthwhile going there. Otherwise, you may be disappointed as you'll get to see very little of the palace.

Take a Cooking Class at Spice Paradise

Spice Paradise is a spice shop run by a kindhearted husband and wife team (their unique masala chai blend has been refined and perfected over the years and is highly recommended). In their humble kitchen, they also conduct Indian cooking classes, which are hugely popular with foreigners. Along with delicious recipes, you'll get to meet a lovely family and gain priceless insight into Indian culture. If you don't have much time in Jodhpur, do book in advance as classes are often full.

Sample Some Indian Sweets

If you love not just Indian sweets but all kinds of Indian snacks, you'll want to visit the iconic Janta Sweet Home , renowned for making some of the best treats in Jodhpur. They're fresh and delicious, and the range is vast. Try the Mawa Kachori, a prestigious dish that originated from Jodhpur.​

Shop at Sambhali Boutique

Sambhali Boutique is the perfect place to pick up some high-quality Jodhpur handicrafts and clothing in Indian and Western styles. All products are made by underprivileged women taught and employed by the Sambhali Trust. Items include silk and cotton camels and elephants, block-printed scarves and curtains, and shoulder bags. Custom orders can also be placed.

If you're looking for cheap accommodations, the Sambhali Trust operates from a very charming little guesthouse (the Durag Niwas Guest House ) that's a hit with backpackers. Long-term stays with all meals provided are possible.

Visit Mandore and Mandore Gardens

Mandore was the capital of the Marwar region before Jodhpur was founded, but now it's in a neglected state. There's an old fort, an eclectic collection of temples and cenotaphs, and a small museum in the Mandore Gardens. The gardens are beautiful, albeit unkempt in places, and used as a local picnic spot. They're worth visiting for the fantastic architecture and history of a bygone era. The best time to go is during the week when it's quietest. If you love monkeys, you'll find plenty there! But be careful that they don't snatch your food!

If you’re planning your first trip to Jodhpur, I’ve got your back. I’ll tell you how to get there, the best season to go, where to grab a bite, sleep well, and all the fun stuff to do and see. Let’s make your visit to Jodhpur easy and awesome with our travel guide to visiting Jodhpur!

Jodhpur, the second-largest city in Rajasthan , is nicknamed the Blue City because of the blue houses in its old quarter. Even though the blue houses are fewer now and spread out, they’re still there.

Walking through the narrow, twisting streets of the old city, I managed to find some of these old blue Brahmin homes. It’s a lively place. You’ll see women doing daily chores, like washing clothes or chopping vegetables or gossiping with neighbors on their doorsteps, and kids playing games in the lanes.

It feels like the real, everyday life of Jodhpur happens in these streets.

If you take the time to wander these streets, you’ll bump into plenty of culture and, of course, vintage doors and windows (I absolutely adore them). Around you, there will be markets with spices, fabrics, and handmade crafts.

Every corner offers something special — a taste, a sound, a slice of the past, and a piece of story.

Jodhpur is a city in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan in northwest India. It’s famous for its blue-painted houses and the massive Mehrangarh Fort that towers over the city. And, of course, it’s counted among India’s top cities for tourists .

How Many Days in Jodhpur

If you’re wondering how many days to spend in Jodhpur, I’d say two days should do the trick. That’s enough time to see the big spots like Mehrangarh Fort and Umaid Bhawan Palace without rushing.

You can also fit in some wandering around the old city to see the blue houses and shop in the markets.

With an extra day, you could even squeeze in a day trip to a nearby village or just chill and enjoy some local food. It’s a nice amount of time to get a real taste of what Jodhpur’s all about.

Best Time to Visit Jodhpur

Unquestionably, winter (October to February) is the perfect time to visit Jodhpur or any other city in Rajasthan, for that matter. It’s when the weather is perfect for exploration.

How to Get to Jodhpur

Jodhpur is well-connected by air, road, and rail with all the major cities in India. Indigo, SpiceJet, Vistara, and Air India are the major airlines that operate flights to and from Jodhpur.

A strong network of national highways makes a road journey hassle-free and fun. You can easily drive from Delhi to Jodhpur via NH 48. The entire journey takes about 11 hours but you don’t need to drive at a stretch as you can halt at Jaipur or Ajmer for a night.

If you don’t want to use your own car, there are many tour operators you can rent a car from. There’s also an option to hire a car with a driver if driving isn’t your cup of tea. Also, there are regular trains and buses (state buses, deluxe buses, or coaches) from different cities in India to Jodhpur.

How to Get Around Jodhpur

Jodhpur is a compact city. The old city is best explored on foot. Places that are far from the center of the city can be visited using an auto-rickshaw or taxi or Uber or Ola.

If you don’t want to haggle with auto-rickshaw drivers and want to explore the city stress-free, I’d recommend you hire a driver for the entire duration of your stay in Jodhpur.

For travelers who want to make the most of their time in Jodhpur without getting into the hassle of arranging transportation, guided tours are the way to go. Get Your Guide and Viator offer some mind-blowing private and group tours .

Where to Stay in Jodhpur

There’s no dearth of places to stay in Jodhpur as it’s a prime tourist city in Rajasthan. I’d suggest you book accommodation in the old city as most of the attractions are nearby.

We stayed at Jhankar Haveli . It was a nice experience, however, we would not recommend booking it if you’ve young kids. They don’t have a lift and the stairs are too steep.

Other best places to stay in Jodhpur (as per travelers’ ratings) include Pal Haveli , Singhvi Haveli , RAAS , Ratan Vilas , and Ajit Bhawan . You can book the iconic Umaid Bhawan Palace for an ultra-luxurious experience.

What to See and Do in Jodhpur

In Jodhpur, there’s a lot to see and do, and it’s all pretty beautiful and unique. First up, you’ve got to check out Mehrangarh Fort . It’s huge and sits on a hill so you can see it from all over the city. Inside, there are palaces and a museum with all sorts of amazing stuff from way back when.

Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park is a cool spot too, especially if you like nature. It’s right next to the fort and has all these walking trails and plants that are from the desert.

Then, there’s the Umaid Bhawan Palace . Part of it’s a hotel, but you can visit the museum part and see how the royals lived. And don’t miss the Jaswant Thada ; it’s a beautiful white marble memorial that’s super peaceful.

For something different, head to the blue parts of the old city . The streets are narrow and it feels like stepping back in time. You’ll see those vintage doors and windows I love and get to capture some great photos.

You should also walk around the markets. Sardar Market near the clock tower is perfect for picking up souvenirs, trying mounth-watering street food , or just watching the city buzz.

If you’re up for a day trip, go see the Bishnoi villages . It’s a different world there, where people live in mud huts and really care about nature.

You can also take a trip to the desert and have dinner under the stars, or visit the ancient town of Mandore with its gardens and ruins.

Also, you should definitely climb up to Pachetia Hill . It’s a bit of a hike, but the view from the top is awesome.

Don’t forget about the ancient stepwell, Toorji Ka Jhalra . Not as maintained as Chand Baori or Panna Meena ka Kund, but a nice historic place to add to the list.

We hope this guide makes planning your first trip to Jodhpur easier. Remember, if you have any questions or need a bit more info, just give me a shout. Have a great trip, and I’m excited to hear all your stories when you return!

It is said that this rainwater lake once provided water to the entire town. At present Gadisar Lake gets water from Indira Gandhi Canal so it never dries. Located towards the south of Jaisalmer city, the entrance to the Gadisar Lake is through a magnificent and artistically carved yellow sandstone archway that is known as the Tilon-Ki-Pol. There are numerous shrines and small temples on the embankment of this lake which can visit during your trip to Jaisalmer . The .....

Jodhpur Travel Blog: From My Experience To Places To Visit

Visiting Jodhpur? In this travel blog, I will be sharing all the useful information you need to know – from how to travel from Delhi to Jodhpur to where to stay there to what is the best time to travel.

But before we get into the details, let’s talk about my personal travel experience. Honestly speaking, I did not like it very much (you will read below why so) despite it being one of the best places to visit in India — as always referred by many guidebooks. I loved Udaipur and Jaipur a lot though, which I happened to visit during a more recent Delhi to Bangalore road trip . 

If you are not interested in reading my experience, scroll down to a heading that says places to visit in Jodhpur . From there, and further below to the end of this travel blog, you will find useful tips to plan your visit.

Now, let’s get started with my experience…

As I alighted at Jodhpur railway station, I was greeted by a confusing mob of a few hundred people — some looking pretty familiar to the town, while others, seemingly as hopeless and confused, as tourists in a new city, would be. And I was no different. As I exited the station, I got into the usual gamut of rejecting the constant soliciting of ‘Sir Auto’, and ‘Sir Hotel’ requests until I walked a few steps away from anyone who could slyly put their touting Hat on me. Crowded, dusty and defiled, as it appeared in the first glace, I realized, this wasn’t the kind of Jodhpur I was hoping for.

Later in the evening, I found myself already escaping the town’s madness and looking for a quiet corner. From the popular sunset point of the Statue of Rao Jodha (a 20-minute walk from my hotel) with a thousand lights twinkling at a distance, I realized it wasn’t a bad spot to conclude my first evening in Jodhpur. A constant cool breeze on an early November evening was moreover adding to the experience. But at a distance all I could still hear and feel was people rushing across the town.

Surrounded by a canopy of dust and overwhelmed by uninterrupted honking, a voice inside me repeated, “This sure wasn’t the Jodhpur I was hoping for!”

My Jodhpur Tour

I remember how when I came out of Jodhpur railway station I did something very unusual — hiring a taxi. I mean I am one of those people who, when arriving in a new place, prefer travelling in a local (rickety) bus over enjoying the luxury of a taxi. But that’s exactly what I was forced to do there.

I ended up in Jodhpur with a false impression, of dreaming of a town just as romantic as I found it on Instagram. What else I dreamed of was a town that still resonated more with history and culture than an ugly transformation of Old to New.

The 10-minute drive from the railway station to my hotel took me through a maze of interconnected and confusing by-lanes, very similar to any bustling north Indian imperial town of today (say Old Ahmedabad or Old Delhi) except for its periodically appearing fading blue buildings. The town was nothing more than a disappointing mix of crowded, bustling and dirty.

For someone not belonging to North India, or say not belonging to India at all, the confusing by-lanes of the city may still hold some interest (and I am sure it does). But for someone like me who grew up in Delhi, the old town of Jodhpur offered nothing new. I mean if I wanted to explore chaotic wild streets and inhale some more dust choking my lungs, I would have done so by repeating my 2 days in Delhi itinerary in my city, why bother travelling a 12-hour away?

Its historic monuments were poorly looked after. The streets were only dirty and confusing. And everyone in the town was busy adapting to a new modern — slowly killing the Blue Jodhpur we’re familiar with.

The Blue Jodhpur Is Slowly Dying

There is no denying the fact that the Blue City of Jodhpur we always loved is slowly dying, with anyone finding a chance to remodel their private property, remodelling it from a boring blue (as I think they find it) to fancy ivory or a striking yellow.

In November of 2019, I found the old town, getting a serious transformation, with one house in every twenty being demolished to build something fancier in its place. And that was another saddening factor.

Don’t Let Instagram Fool You

So yeah, if you’re travelling to Jodhpur expecting to be surrounded by contrasting blue buildings, please don’t. Though of course, you will find enough blue to fill a frame on Instagram, you cannot fill an entire sight of it, as I rather imagined before actually ending up there.

The old fort of Mehrangarh is also nothing unusual, outside of its few Instagram-perfect spots.

Most of the unnamed pieces of old heritage, especially those lying outside of the city wall were, moreover, totally overlooked by the authorities with no restoration work in the process whatsoever —  filled with more plastic and rubbish than you can imagine.

So yeah, again, the Jodhpur I found, in reality, was nothing that I had initially pictured in my mind. It could be so much better with all the architectural and cultural heritage it had, but unfortunately, it was not!

Places to Visit In Jodhpur

Though I have discussed my first impression and the reasons why I didn’t like the town, I understand that you may still be planning to visit — given all the hype the city has. And if you do, let’s talk about some of the famous places to visit in Jodhpur and make your trip easy.

Jaswant Thada

Jaswant Tada is a royal cenotaph built in white marble. There is a small pond and a cute little garden next to it (popular as a loving point). This structure is just a few minute’s downhill walk from the main fort, so there is no need to take a ride if you are backpacking. Visiting Jaswant Thada should be high on the list as it is one of the popular places to visit in Jodhpur.

Mehrangarh Fort

Located in the centre of the town, the Mehrangarh Fort is not just a highlight of Rajasthan but the entire of India. It is one of the largest forts in the country spread perched on top of a 400 feet elevated hill and guarded by huge walls. It is the Mehrangarh Fort that you will see as the cover picture of most travel guidebooks and blogs on Jodhpur.

The fort encloses a museum that now exhibits various belongings of the royals.

The palace was built by Rao Jodha in 1459.

Mandore Garden

Located about 10 kilometres from the city centre or Mehrangarh, Mandore Gardens is another popular highlight. The garden contains cenotaphs which are built like traditional Hindu temples, unlike other cenotaphs. For architecture and history lovers, this is one of the top places to visit. The garden also contains a ruined fort and palace.

Umaid Bhawan Palace

Voted as the Best Hotel in the world for many years in a row, Umaid Bhawan Palace is also one of the top places to visit in Jodhpur. There is a lot of history associated with it, which makes it a frequent highlight among day visitors. Named after the then Maharaja of Jodhpur, Raja Umaid Singh, Umaid Bhawan Palace, is the last of the greatest palaces built in the city. It was built in 1944. Because of its location on Chittar Hill, it is also referred to as the Chittar Palace.

Ghanta Ghar

The Ghanta Ghar is the tallest clock tower in the city which offers a birds-eye view of the city from the top. Since it is surrounded by the busiest and largest marketplace, it is worth going and checking up the view. There were some of the most popular places to visit in Jodhpur. Other things to see and do are:

• Flying Fox – for adventure seekers
• Kalyana Lake – for a beautiful sunrise

I remember during my trip to Jodhpur, I saw at least a dozen hostels around, a few dozen boutique hostels and more guest houses and hotels than I can remember.

So yea, one thing is sure, you won’t have a hard time finding a few hostels in Jodhpur as per what you’re looking for. And speaking of the suggestions, here are some:

Best Time To Visit Jodhpur

Since Rajasthan is a desert state with tropical weather conditions (hot and humid), unless you are travelling in extreme luxury March to June and September to November are too hot to do anything – making them the worst travel months.

The best time to visit Rajasthan and Jodhpur, therefore, remains the winter months of December, January and February. This is when the maximum temperature remains around 25 degrees Celcius, giving it the perfect to step outside and explore. But with perfect weather, comes the peak season. If you are one of those people who want to budget travel in India , always looking for cheap travel accommodation in India , then consider travelling during monsoon.

The monsoon months are not too hot and the season is not peak, making them, if not the best, at least moderately good time to visit Jodhpur.

Very few people know Jodhpur has a flying fox and it is also very less advertised. I love this city so much and always trying to be in jodhpur. My many known travellers are from this city. The images are top-notch and classy. Thanks for sharing.

To each his own. I’m from Mumbai and loved the city, especially the Mehrangarh fort and the street foods. I loved how the audio tour guided us through fort’s details and history. I was never interested in visiting forts and palaces before visiting Jodhpur. Although, I agree with your point about the filthy roads and heritage sites not being taken care of. But, that’s just India.
