5 reasons to go to Jodhpur, India

The city of Jodhpur, located in the middle of the Thar desert, is part of the state of Rajasthan. Because of the blue color of the houses, it is often called the “Blue City”.

Jodhpur is an ancient and very beautiful city of India, tangled medieval streets intertwined in it, which, it seems, never lead to where you want to get. They smell like incense, roses and sewers. There are shops and bazaars where everything is sold, from pipes and temple decorations to tobacco and saris.

For those who are going to go to this Indian city, catch our TOP 5 things to do in Jodhpur:
  1. Climb to Fort Mehrangarh. The fort rises above the city on a hilltop. Fort walls are lined with old artillery and offer panoramic views of the Blue City.
  2. See the palace of Umaid Bhawan. A masterpiece of architecture that stands out for its impressive size and magnificent pink and white exteriors.
  3. Visit the Jaswant Thada Memorial (pictured). This white marble memorial was built by Sardar Singha in 1899 in memory of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II, the 33rd ruler of Jodhpur.
  4. Go to the gardens of Mandore. Mandore Gardens has a government museum, a hero hall and a temple, and high rocky terraces make the garden even more attractive.
  5. Take a walk through the deserted, rocky park of Rao Jodha. A unique attraction to visit. The park was created to restore the natural ecology of rocky wastelands, not far from the magnificent fort Mehrangarh. The park boasts many species of flora and fauna.
