Let's Talk About the Bustling Blue City - Jodhpur

We took a 5 hour road journey to reach Jodhpur from Jaisalmer.

Here are some cool cheez that we did at Jodhpur -

1. Walk through the old city

To be fair, the numbers of blue colored houses are few and one has to hunt a blue colored house or an indigo rooftop.
And yet somewhere in the chaos , the crumbling havelis still stand tall and pigeons play across them leaving a hint of our heritage

2.Stay in a haveli turned hotel

It would not be fair to stay somewhere that's not a indigo house. We totally loved the restful sleep, heritage decor, sumptuous breakfasts and roof top with a serene view of the fort.

3. Go tour Mehrangarh

This fort rises 125 meter over Jodhpur making it city's landmark.
It is difficult not to notice the grand door ways and balconies that welcome the tourists.
This is where the Rathore's lived.

The highlight of visiting the monuments of Rajasthan is the view it offers from the top.

4. Ladies here you go " SHOP"

Sardar market comprises of bazaar around the clock tower.

You can buy everything from colorful shoes and pottery to spices and teas here.

I entered a dupatta shop by the road side and picked up almost 15 dupatta at first instance😋
Fulkarie, Gorgette, Lehriya, Bandhej and a lot more.


5. See where the Royal Family Stayed

Umaid Bhagwan - This palace turned hotel is a magnificent piece of Rajasthan's heritage and a symbol of new Jodhpur.


6. Visit Taj Mahal of Mewad - Jaswant Thada
 Made in milky white marble this is a cenotaph to commemorate the Maharaj of Jodhpur.

And so that was Jodhpur for you all.
Our visit was short and sweet. Jodhpur has its own gems hiding amidst the chaos.
