During the drive, you’ll be introduced to the history and culture of Jodhpur, famously called the “Blue City of Rajasthan.” Learn about the royal heritage of the Marwar region and get a brief overview of the day’s itinerary.

Start your exploration with the majestic Mehrangarh Fort, one of India’s largest forts, perched atop a 400-foot hill. Walk through its massive gates and explore beautiful palaces such as Sheesh Mahal and Phool Mahal. Visit the fort museum to see royal artifacts, traditional costumes, and weapons. From the top, enjoy panoramic views of the blue-painted old city, a photographer’s paradise.

Next, visit the serene Jaswant Thada, a marble cenotaph built in memory of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. Known for its intricate carvings and peaceful gardens, this monument is often called the “Taj Mahal of Marwar.” Spend time walking around the tranquil lakeside setting and admire the fine craftsmanship.

Proceed to the grand Umaid Bhawan Palace, one of the last great palaces built in India. Part of the palace remains a royal residence, while the museum showcases vintage cars, clocks, and artifacts of the royal family. The architecture beautifully blends Indian and European styles, making it a must-visit landmark.

Savor a traditional Rajasthani thali at a recommended restaurant. Enjoy local flavors such as dal baati churma, gatte ki sabzi, and mirchi bada. This is the perfect time to rest and absorb the city’s vibrant culture.

Post lunch, explore the bustling Clock Tower (Ghanta Ghar) and nearby Sardar Market. This colorful market is ideal for shopping spices, handicrafts, textiles, silver jewelry, and the famous Jodhpur red chilies. Experience the lively local atmosphere and interact with friendly vendors.
