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.

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 in Jodhpur itinerary - best places to visit in Jodhpur in 2 days

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 Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur itinerary - best places to visit in Jodhpur in 2 days

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 Gardens in Jodhpur itinerary - best places to visit in Jodhpur in 2 days

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

Night view of Mehrangrah fort from Zostel rooftop, Jodhpur Rajasthan

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

Mehrangarh fort in Jodhpur itinerary - best places to visit in Jodhpur in 2 days

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 in Jodhpur itinerary - best places to visit in Jodhpur in 2 days

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

Statue of Rao Jodha in Jodhpur itinerary - best places to visit in Jodhpur in 2 days

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

Clock tower Jodhpur Rajasthan in Jodhpur Itinerary - best places to visit in Jodhpur in 2 days

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

Jodhpur famous omlette stall in 2 day Jodhpur itinerary for Jodhpur blue city Rajasthan India

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

Shopping in Jodhpur blue city

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

Jodhpur sunset viewpoint in Jodhpur Itinerary - best places to visit in Jodhpur in 2 days

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

Rajasthan local food - Daal baati churma

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.

Blue City, Jodhpur in India...2014.02 ⓒWoosra.*Blog : http://woosra.com

Mighty Mehrangarh, the muscular fort that towers over the Blue City of Jodhpur, is a magnificent spectacle and an architectural masterpiece. Around Mehrangarh’s base, the old city, a jumble of Brahmin-blue cubes, stretches out to the 6-mile-long (10km), 16th-century city wall. The Blue City really is blue! Inside is a tangle of winding, glittering, medieval streets, which never seem to lead where you expect them to, scented by incense, roses and sewers, with shops and bazaars selling everything from trumpets and temple decorations to snuff and saris.

Jodhpur the Blue City

Jodhpur is a must-see city in Rajasthan. It was once the capital of the Kingdom of Marwar, now a region. This large city of more than one million inhabitants is one of the most touristic of North India. Travelers visit Jodhpur mainly for its completely blue historic city and the gigantic Mehrangarh Fort.

Jodhpur travel guide

This guide is based on an in-depth visit since I spent more than 45 days in the blue city, spread over 3 trips in India . I dedicate this article to Harshit whom I had the chance to meet in 2019. We became true friend since this time. It is at his family’s house that I stay on each of my trips to Jodhpur for about ten days. He offered me many opportunities, encounters and gave me the chance not to be a spectator in the middle of the blue houses but rather of the life that happens inside several of them by the most authentic way. Enjoy reading and have a good trip to Jodhpur!

Why visit Jodhpur?

jodhpur tourist map

Jodhpur is one of the most touristic cities in India’s largest state, Rajasthan, located in the northwest of the country. Its medieval character with its imposing fort, its maze of narrow and steep streets and its area of blue houses make it absolutely gorgeous. Its appearance is one of the main reasons that attract tourists. Yes, Jodhpur fits perfectly into the “Instagram destination” and it is for me one of the most beautiful cities I have visited in the world.  

Tourism in Jodhpur

If you follow Spirit Travelers from near or far, you have probably noticed that this aspect is not necessarily put in the foreground. Of course we will note it in this guide but know that the city of Jodhpur has much more to offer than its beauty. Indeed, behind its pretty shades of blue, it has a unique and remarkable architecture, history and culture. We will see it in a long list of things to do and places to visit. You will not miss any activity and things to know for your trip.

Jodhpur is large but not so busy compare to others

Jodhpur is also a pleasant city to spend time since it is relatively ‘quiet’ for its size. At least around the fort. It is a good place to take your time to visit and rest from the hustle and bustle of other major cities in Rajasthan. The desert surroundings of Jodhpur are also worth a visit. These are excellent places to ride a motorbike with sumptuous scenery.

About Jodhpur

jodhpur tourist map

Jodhpur was founded in 1459 by Maharaja Rao Jodha who was a Rathore, a Rajput clan originally from Mandore. This city became the capital of the Marwar region he had conquered, and he transferred it by founding Jodhpur. Its headquarters were then built on the hill overlooking the blue city, Mehrangarh Fort. Rao Jodha and his descendants were powerful in Rajasthan. His son Rao Bika did not wish to inherit Jodhpur and preferred to build his own kingdom. This is how Bikaner was founded by himself in 1488. The capital of Rajasthan during this period was Jaipur.

Why is Jodhpur called Sun City?

Jodhpur is nicknamed the City of the Sun according to Hinduism. Indeed, the deity of the Sun, Lord Surya, shines in the sky for a very large part of the year in Jodhpur. For this reason, the city is called Surya Nagri: the city of the Sun. Sun City therefore refers to this deity.  

jodhpur tourist map

Why is Jodhpur blue?

As much to tell you right away, the answer will not be clear. I’ve asked so many people and I’ve always had different answers. The theories below are all those that are suggested on the internet and by the inhabitants:  

● Brahmins , the highest caste in India is associated with the color blue. It is believed that the old town was painted to distinguish itself from the rest.

● For the heat : Jodhpur is located in a desert region and it is very hot most of the year. The blue color would keep homes cool.

● The color of Shiva : The Hindu deity is blue and it is suggested that Jodhpur is of this color for this reason.

● First color available : in the past, only white paint was used, taken from limestone. Later, indigo dye was discovered by extraction from the indigo tree. Since then, it has been an available color in the region, and it would have been used.

● Against parasites : the composition of indigo would repel insects. It also has antimicrobial properties contained in the extracts of the plant.  

At the present-day, here’s the most logical and plausible reason: indigo was one of the first colors available. Cultivation and extraction required a certain cost so mostly the richest caste could afford it: the Brahmins. Today, the cost of painting is still expensive and not everyone can buy it.  

jodhpur tourist map

Where are the blue houses?

The blue area is mostly Brahmpuri: where Brahmins live. It is also the old city, the place where the first houses of Jodhpur were built. It is located south of Mehrangarh Fort (north of the city).

Mehrangarh Fort

jodhpur tourist map

Mehrangarh Fort is a must-do activity and a must see in Jodhpur. As we have seen, it was the headquarters of the founder of Jodhpur, Jao Rhoda. Its construction strated in 1459 when the capital of Marwar was moved and the needed to secure the city government arose. The Maharaja’s successors continued to expand the fort over the centuries until the end of the 17 th century.  

The price of visiting the fort is 200 INR or 100 INR for students. There is no time limit, you can visit it a whole day. The fortress is composed of several palaces, a museum, gardens and especially the most beautiful views of the city of Jodhpur. Its size is sprawling, so the visit takes time.  

How to get there?

You can get to the fort on foot from the old town from the Fateh Gate (Fateh Pole) or from this point which is at the opposite. Visitors by car must arrive by this entry to have access to the parking.  

jodhpur tourist map

It is possible to zip line over a piece of the fort and one of its walls for the sum of INR 1,500 at this location:

The gates of the city

jodhpur tourist map

When Jodhpur was founded, the city developed all around the hill where there is the Fort and its huge ramparts. In order to secure the entire agglomeration, many walls and bastions were built all around the city with a very limited number of entrances the fortified gates.   You can’t miss them because they are so huge. The first one you will see will be at the entrance of the city near the train station if you arrive by. Another one that you will not miss will be the one on the clock tower square or Chandpole in the blue city.   

  • Sojati Gate
  • Chandpole Gate
  • Jalori Gate
  • Siwanchi Gate
  • Nagauri Gate

Jaswant Thada

jodhpur tourist map

Jaswant Thada is the cenotaph (monument built in memory and honor of a deceased person) of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II built by his son in 1899. The monument is carved in marble. This place is also used for cremations of the royal family of Jodhpur.  

The fee is 200 INR for foreign visitors (it may change for some reasons).  

It is located less than a kilometer north of Mehrangarh Fort.

Mandore Garden

jodhpur tourist map

Mandore Gardens are located in the city of the same name, close to Jodhpur. It was the old capital city of Maharaja Rao Jodha before his relocation to present-day Jodhpur. The gardens include cenotaphs, the ancient fort before the Mehrangarh fort was built , beautiful gardens, ruins and temples.  

The entrance is free. As part of a cultural tour of Jodhpur, Mandore is a must-see place for its history. In addition, it is a place of breathtaking beauty and very quiet where to relax. You will find many gray monkeys there.  

Mandore Gardens is located 9 km north of Jodhpur. The rickshaw costs about 100 INR.

Panchkund Chattriya

jodhpur tourist map

Close to Mandore Gardens is a very large group of cenotaphs and a royal funerary garden. This activity is often forgotten by tourists who only visit Mandore Garden, probably because they don’t know about this archaeological site. Still, Panchkund Chattriya is incredibly beautiful with very interesting architecture filled with pattern and intricate details. I really like the energy of this place.  

The visit is free. Plus: Right in front of the burial site is a large place where women color huge fabrics for the manufacture of saris. It is a very photogenic place with cenotaphs in the background.  

jodhpur tourist map

The place is easily accessible from the Mandore Gardens since it is only one kilometre to the north.

Jodhpur Old Town

jodhpur tourist map

Obviously travelers don’t plan a visit to Jodhpur without taking a tour in its historic district with its colorful houses that it is nicknamed “the blue pearl of Rajasthan”. Lose yourself in the maze of alleys of the old blue City is an activity that you will never get tired of.  

Blue houses are scattered all over Jodhpur but the completely blue historic district is at the foot of Mehrangarh Fort.

Sardar Government Museum

jodhpur tourist map

The Sardar Museum is located in the middle of a park, a short walk from Jodhpur Railway Station. Many ancient weapons that were used in the time of the Maharajas as well as objects from the fort and royal families are on display. You will also find information about the city and its history, sculptures of the oldest deities of Jodhpur and many stuffed animals such as wild boars, tigers, jackals or antelopes and even a gavial. Hunting was a popular activity in royalty.

A beautiful well is located within the grounds of the museum park in this place .

Talabs in Jodhpur City

Ranisar talab.

jodhpur tourist map

Ranisar Talab is a redeveloped natural pond with many bavdi-style steps. It is located below Mehrangarh Fort. It is a place where swimming is allowed. A notable ornithological diversity lives there.

Padamsar Talab

jodhpur tourist map

Padamsar Talab is very similar to Ranisar Talab and located in the same place, only a small ridge separates the two water points.

Gulab Sagar Talab

jodhpur tourist map

Gulab Sagar is a artificial pond located in the city center. It was created in the 18 th century and its source comes from Bal Samand Lake. It is a pleasant place to visit with beautiful architecture and a beautiful view of the fort you can spot from there. Just opposite are 2 beautiful step wells (see next section) and a short walk away is another historic basin, Fateh Sagar.

Visit the stepwells of Jodhpur

Stepwells are locally called “bavdi”. In India, they are also called baori, baoli, or wav. The city of Jodhpur has about 30 public wells. There are actually many more but many are located in private properties. Here are the most notable stepwells to discover in Jodhpur:  

Toorji Ka Jhalra Bavdi

jodhpur tourist map

Toorji Ka Jhalra Bavdi is the most popular and best maintained of all the Baori in Jodhpur. Its unique structure and large size make it a popular place for jodhpurites who come to spend time, bathe and use it during religious events to take ritual baths. This historical monument was built by the Queen Maharaja Abhai Singh in the 18 th century.

Mahila Bag Ka Jhalra

jodhpur tourist map

This magnificent 18 th century Baori seems to be completely neglected by the locals. It is a little hidden and less prominent than his neighbor Toorji Ka Jhalra Bavdi. In fact, you could right walk past it despite its immense size if you are not aware of it! Unfortunately, this stepwell is completely neglected (at least, it was the case on all my visits). It’s a place where I like to spend time since there is never anyone when I go there. I even took a nap there. You can spot turtles and very large white fish in the water.

Raghunath Ji Ki Bawdi

jodhpur tourist map

Raghunath Ji Ki Bawdi is located right in front of one of the oldest temples in Jodhpur, Shri Rameshwar Nath Mahadev. It is a well with a long structure.

Shri Rameshwar Stepwell

jodhpur tourist map

In the same place as the previous stepwell but this time in the courtyard of the Shri Rameshwar Nath Mahadev temple is also another baori: It is not directly visible since it is surrounded by walls and a protective grid but its structure is remarkable. There is a passage on the other side that is closed when the water level is high. When it drops, it reveals a temple. There are small galleries on the sides. Its protection is useful since it is not used as a garbage can, which often the fate of other baori in India. Its clear and bluish water really makes you want to take a dip in it.

Kriya Ka Jhalra

jodhpur tourist map

Kriya Ka Jhalra Bawdi is a stepwell that looks like a miniature replica of Mahila Bag Ka Jhalra. Located about 2 kilometers from the city center and a short walk from the entrance to Rao Jodha Park, this place is a small haven where you can spot turtles (with some luck) and many squirrels that come to eat in your hands (and with some patience!) .

Ghanta Ghar Clock Tower

jodhpur tourist map

The Jodhpur Clock Tower was built in the early 20 th century by Sardar Singh, the same Maharaja who had the Jaswant Thada cenotaph built for his father. While you’re here, I advise you to try one of Jodhpur’s most famous lassies. The restaurant is located directly on the right behind the large fortified gate when arriving from the main avenue. The Ghanta Ghar Tower compound is also home to the “Sardar Market”, a large market for shopping.  

The tower is located right in the middle of the Sardar Market Square. It is a very lively and lively place where you can find all kinds of crafts and goods.

Jodhpur Bazaar

jodhpur tourist map

You will find many things at Katla Bazaar. The street is completely crowded with people but it is an activity to do and a good place to shop.  

The Jodhpur City Bazaar is located around the clock in the city center.

The views in Jodhpur are numerous. That’s obvious but Mehrangarh Fort has beautiful views of the city. Otherwise, here are four more:  

Singhoria Hill

jodhpur tourist map

Singhoria Hill lies north of Mehrangarh Fort. Its heights are accessible from a long stairway and offer a sumptuous panorama of the city of Jodhpur and its fortress. It is a quiet place where Indians like to see the sunset from the rocks. A caved temple dedicated to the cult of Durga is located at the top of the hill. It was built inside a large block of stone.

Viewpoint on the fort

jodhpur tourist map

This viewpoint offers a beautiful portrait of the fort. The place is easily accessible from the city center.

Pachetia Hill

jodhpur tourist map

Pachetia (or Pachetiya) is a hill that overlooks Jodhpur and separates the old city by a wide ridge. The hill offers nice panoramas in addition to being a pleasant place to walk. From this point, you can even go around the fort without going through the streets.

Jaswant Thada View Point

One of the best viewpoints you can get on Jodhpur is behind the historic monument of Jaswant Thada, from a massive rampart and its bastions. From this place you have a panorama of a part of the city, Jaswant Thada and Mehrangarh.

Nai Sarak Street and Merti Road

jodhpur tourist map

Nai Sarak is the main avenue facing the clock tower while Merti Gate Street is the Merti Fortified Gate street. There is the largest concentration of fabric factories and many shops of all kinds, you can find everything!. It is a good place to shop and buy large quantities of incense and spices at low price. When I say “you can find everything” it’s means that you can furnish your whole house here!  

A short walk from Katla Bazaar.

Observe the monkeys

jodhpur tourist map

The entelles (langurs), also called semnopithecines, are emblematic monkeys of India. These are the most common with their cousins the rhesus macaques. However, very few macaques live in Jodhpur unlike the entelle monkeys which are numerous.  

How to see them?

They are easily spotted from the rooftops of Jodhpur since it is in height that they spend the most time. You will be more likely to see them in the morning and late afternoon. They often walk in the early morning at the entrance of Mehrangarh Fort. Otherwise, you are sure to find them in the gardens of Mandore at any time in the day or at Bal Samand.

Umaid Bhawan Palace

jodhpur tourist map

Umaid Bhawan Palace is the residence of the powerful royal family of Jodhpur, the richest family in the whole India. It was built by Maharaja Umaid Singh in 1929. A part of it has been transformed into a luxury hotel and another into a museum that can be visited. It is a gigantic iconic monument of Jodhpur. A must visit.  

jodhpur tourist map

It is located on the outskirts of Jodhpur, to the south near the airport.

Old Brahmpuri School

jodhpur tourist map

During my stays in Jodhpur I always spotted an old building from Mehrangarh Fort with architecture that I found very beautiful. The place is not at all informed and its access is complicated to find if you do not know the entrance. I ended up looking from the locals who told me how to visit it. It turns out that this historical monument is actually the oldest girl school in Brahmpuri and is completely abandoned today. A newer school was built on the same site. So I went to this school through which access is made to the old monument but I was refused to get in. The teachers didn’t understand my interest in this old building. While snooping around and taking very discreet alleys in the neighborhood, I found without a doubt the best view of the place (above pic). From this point, we can also see what seems to be a cenotaph.

Meet the Bhil tribe

jodhpur tourist map

The Bhil tribe was once a nomadic people and today lives in several states in western and northern India. They are known for their arts including their traditional dances and painting. This ethnic group paints the walls and ceilings of their homes depicting their traditions, beliefs and gods.  

jodhpur tourist map

The Bhil represent the largest ethnic group in Rajasthan and speak Bhili (while the Jodhpurites speak Marwari and/or Hindi). They are the ones who brought the traditional and emblematic dance of Rajasthan: the “Ghoomar”. In Jodhpur, they live on the outskirts of the city and are easy to meet.

Meet the Bishnoi people

jodhpur tourist map

The Bishnoi group (or Vishnoi) is a people living mainly in the state of Rajasthan. Bishnoism is a branch of Hinduism and its followers follow a guru. They have a strict lifestyle following 29 principles among which all forms of wisdom are dictated. God lives in every particle of the universe and therefore in every creature.  

Nature and divine

For this reason, Bishnois are strict vegetarians and sanctify all forms of life. They are among the few Indians to bury their deceased since it requires the use of wood that is not completely dead. Their way of life is punctuated by a deep connection of nature and the divine and follows the wisest and healthiest possible way of life.  

jodhpur tourist map

How to meet them?

Many travel agencies organize tours to these villages. You can easily schedule an excursion with your hotel for example. They will take you to tourist villages where you can see all the activities of this culture. However, these tours are named “Bishnoi Safari”, so don’t expect an expedition to the top of authenticity. You can meet the Bishnois on your own in a more authentic setting. They live in nature scattered around Jodhpur especially in the south of the city, about 15 km away. When I went there with my friend the weather became very stormy and we had to leave. The place is filled with animals, including wild peacocks, nilgais (the largest antelope species in Asia) and especially the blackbuck which is the emblem of the Bishnoi people: a very sacred animal that they worship (previous photo).

The temples of Jodhpur

Here is a selection of the most unusual, oldest or most important temples in Jodhpur. None of these places of worship require an entrance fee:

Siddnath is a temple dedicated to the worship of Shiva. Located on the foothills of Jodhpur a short walk from Kaylana Lake, the temple is accessed by a long stairway. You can see pilgrims and other followers of Hinduism that are rarely seen in the city as sadhus for example. Part of the temple is troglodyte. The mountainous terrain in Siddnath is remarkable and offers a breathtaking view of the valleys. In addition, there is a hiking trail below through the bush. It has the reputation of being particularly beautiful. You will have chances to come across entelles monkeys if you arrive at the coolest hours as well as wild warthogs. They populate the surroundings of the place of worship. Be discreet with photographs within the temple grounds. He doesn’t usually see many foreign travelers and isn’t very familiar with cameras.

Mahamandir is a temple with incredible architecture and intricate patterns. Built at the very beginning of the 19 th century, the religious building is supported by 84 pillars. A number that immediately made me think of a cenotaph of Bundi which has as much. I guess there is something related to this choice or it is a nice coincidence… But time has taught me that they do not exist in India and that everything is linked from near or far. Any suggestion?

Gayatri Shaktipeeth Shree Chamunda Mata

jodhpur tourist map

This temple is dedicated to the worship of the fierce deity Shamunda who is known to be the goddess of war (among others). One of his forms of worship is through blood offerings. While animal sacrifices are still perpetuated in remote areas of the country, this is certainly not the case in Jodhpur. Some tribes with ancestral rituals also practiced human sacrifice for this deity before it was banned. The temple is located within the walls of Mehrangarh Fort. You can see it easily from Jodhpur, it is a white monument that overlooks the whole city. A tragic story unfolded at this place in 2008 when more than 200 people died. Gayatri Shaktipeeth Shree Chamunda Mata is an important temple in Rajasthan.

Kunj Bihari Temple

jodhpur tourist map

Kunj Bihari is a temple dedicated to Lord Krishna. Chances are you’ll spot it if you visit Jodhpur. It is one of the oldest and most important in the city.

Ghanshyam Temple

jodhpur tourist map

Ghanshyam is also one of the oldest temples in the city and also one of the most popular. This is the place where you should go first if there are religious celebrations at the time of your visit. Especially during the Holi festival where locals throw the colored powders inside and where lively concerts take place for a week before the official date. The interior decoration of the temple is absolutely sumptuous with many mythological paintings and decorations with a multitude of colors and patterns with psychedelic airs. Located in the vicinity of the old town, this is a must-see place during your stay.

Shri Rameshwar Nath Mahadev

jodhpur tourist map

Shri Rameshwar Nath Mahadev is one of the oldest temples in Jodhpur. It is dedicated to the worship of Shiva. The interior of the monument has sublime ancient mythological frescoes on the ceiling, above the lingam. Other more recent paintings have been added to the walls [ see photo ] . There is also a space dedicated to the worship of planet-like deities and other gods. Do not miss the visit of the baori which is right in front of the temple in the same courtyard.

Gangashwar Mahadev

jodhpur tourist map

I could not list this selection of temples to visit without mentioning that of my friend Harshit, Gangashwar Mahadev, which is dedicated to the Lord Shiva. The temple is glued to the property he had built. A pleasant place to spend time and where you will always be very well received by the limitless sympathy and kindness of Harshit.

Harshit Dave

Trust me, he will give you another dimension to your trip in Jodhpur by sharing his knowledge about many things. Do not hesitate to say that you come from me.

Shantoshi Mata Mandir

jodhpur tourist map

This temple was established in 1958 by Pandit Megraj Dave, Harshit’s grandfather. This man had a very good reputation and was much appreciated by the people of the “Blue Pearl of Rajasthan”. The city has grown enormously in past decades. Given the small blue quarter and its surroundings which were the original city, the size of the modern part is very significant. That is, this area was previously completely bush. Harshit’s grandfather used to retire very far from the old city and walk for a long time in nature (which is now the modern city) to a specific place that he liked to pray… Until the day the goddess Durga appeared herself to him, always in the same place. As a result of this divine encounter, the temple was established. A passage was created at that time by the inhabitants by breaking a huge block of rock. The road still passes through this place today. The temple has been enlarged over the years and the surroundings have been landscaped. It remains a very visited temple and very popular at the present day.

The Motorbike Temple

No it’s not a joke that I slipped into the travel guide, this temple exists! You will get there by keeping reading. I talk about it in the section of curiosities of Jodhpur.

Muslim Areas of Jodhpur

jodhpur tourist map

Muslims are about 20% of the Jodhpur population. I like the atmosphere of their neighborhoods which is very different. I enjoy drinking chai sometimes in these places and I met many curious and friendly people there. Visitors are rarer here and Muslims share their enthusiasm when they see some foreign there.

Hiking in Rao Jodha Desert Park

jodhpur tourist map

Rao Jodha Park is a place made for nature lovers. A route has been defined around Mehrangarh Fort throughout the rocky part and also passes by the Jaswant Thada monument. A good thing to do will be to leave in the morning at the starting point in order to arrive at the white marble monument and then visit it. The Rao Jodha Game Reserve has a remarkable flora as well as a rich ornithofauna.

Kaylana Lake Trip

jodhpur tourist map

Kaylana is a very large artificial lake located on the outskirts of Jodhpur. Many activities are available around, including old historic buildings converted into luxurious hotels as well as many temples scattered in the bush and on hilltops. Siddnath Temple is very close to this place.  

jodhpur tourist map

It is a very beautiful place to trek in the middle of nature and discover the more rural face of Jodhpur. There are a few options for dining by the lake, camel riding and even accommodation.

Lake and gardens of Bal Samand

jodhpur tourist map

Bal Samand is a large lake set back from Jodhpur. This is a great place to stay if you love peace, comfort and nature. Indeed, one of its banks has been completely redeveloped into green gardens and a palace was built there by Balak Rao Pratihar in 1159.  

jodhpur tourist map

It is an absolutely quiet and relaxing place with many animals. The change of scenery is clear when you enter the premises. The greenery and the song of the birds is good. I loved Bal Samand. A few gray monkeys have settled there as well as a very large number of wild peacocks.  

jodhpur tourist map

If you want to visit the gardens of Bal Samand you must either stay there or eat in the restaurant. This place is popular for honeymoons. If you are a couple, I highly recommend it. Especially since there are no crowds. Otherwise, it is a pleasant place to visit even alone! Don’t forget to check out the well fused to nature at this place . The visit of the lake outside the property of Bal Samand is possible without restrictions.

Excursion to Surpura Dam

jodhpur tourist map

Surpura Dam are two huge water reservoirs located about ten kilometers from Jodhpur. You can do water activities such as pedal boating, swimming or jet skiing. The place is particularly interesting to visit during festivals such as Diwali where hundreds (or even thousands) of candles are placed on the banks.

Visit Jodhpur during festivals

jodhpur tourist map

In itself, all festivals are good to visit Jodhpur but here is an interesting selection including local events:  

I guess you already know about Holi. This festival where the cities become multicolored by their powders is very beautiful to see in Jodhpur since the old city being tinged with a wide variety of blue, the addition of colored powders in the streets that contrast with the walls is simply stunning.  

Marwar Festival

Also known as “Maand”, the Marwar Cultural Festival takes place every year at the end of October and features many of the region’s traditions such as dancing and singing. For example, the “Ghoomar” that we previously seen of the Bhil is performed a lot.  

Jodhpur RIFF

The Rajasthan International Folk Festival (RIFF) is held in and around Mehrangarh Fort. It stages Rajasthani folklore through traditional dances and songs. It is an event not classified but still supported by UNESCO. It takes place every year in October for 4 days.  

Dhinga Gawar

Dhinga is a festival is celebrated all over India but Dhinga Gawar is celebrated only in Jodhpur and only by and for women. Indeed, Gauri, the goddess of love and among others of motherhood is venerated on this occasion. The festival lasts 16 days since the day after Holi and is punctuated by various rituals but especially marked by a procession of all the women who start a march in the old city of Jodhpur all night. This tradition has the effect of bringing serenity into their married life or bringing luck in love. Moreover, during this night walk, all women have a stick. The turbulent or disruptive men who attend the procession may be struck by one of them. If this is the case for a young boy, it means that he will probably get married in the near future.

Where to drink a good chai?

jodhpur tourist map

Restro chai

Restro is a street shop that can boast of serving delicious chai. It is a popular place with a rather unique method of preparation which involves overheating a clay pot in the fire and then pouring the beverage into it in order to pour everything into another pot ready to enjoy. The infusion takes the taste of clay and it is a delight.

Belpatra Cafe

Belpatra (was Aesh Leaf before) is a restaurant with different drinks and things to eat but above all a selection of absolutely delicious chai with original flavors such as: – Cardamom – Paan – Rose – Ginger – Chocolate – Caramel

Where to eat in Jodhpur?

jodhpur tourist map

Jodhpur is a city with many culinary specialties. I strongly advise you to taste its local dishes that you will not find anywhere else. An excellent place with a good reputation to eat is “Vijay Restaurant”. The food is absolutely delicious and in addition to Rajasthani and local dishes, it also serves its own specialties at quite affordable prices. You will even have surprises by choosing random dishes! Also don’t forget to try Jodhpur’s local sweets.

Where to take cooking lessons?

jodhpur tourist map

If you are interested in Indian cuisine I can only recommend Meena, the mother of my friend Harshit. Since she wishes to offer her services, I return one to her by recommending it to you. Trust me, his hands are magical. They can transform and a wide and impressive amount of diverse ingredients into a fantastic dish filled with flavor. It’s a kind of festival into your mouth! In addition to enjoying delicious meals, you will taste the legendary hospitality within a family filled with wisdom and what’s more, inside a blue and traditional house of Brahmpuri.

Curiosities of Jodhpur

The temple of motorcycling.

jodhpur tourist map

Om (Banna) Singh Rathore was a descendant of a Rajput family popular in the vicinity of Pali. This man had a motorcycle accident in 1988 that he did not survive on the road from Jodhpur to Pali. The police seized his vehicle and took him to the police station. The next morning, the two-wheeler was found at the crash site. This time, the police recovered the motorcycle but emptied the gazoline and tied the machine to chains. The same thing happens, the motorcycle is still found at the place of the tragedy. This incident then occurred several times to the amazement of the local people. Faced with the divine phenomenon, they decided to build a temple for the cult of Om Banna. Since then, Bullet Baba Ka Mandir has become a full-fledged temple much visited by many believers. It is believed that worshipping the motorcycle that is now in the temple and its deity brings good luck and offers protection from accidents. It is also said that honking your horn when riding a motorcycle past the temple is a good omen. Amazing story right?

Jodhpur and fetishes

jodhpur tourist map

The streets of Jodhpur are filled with fetishes above the doors of houses and shops. They are always chili peppers, a lemon and a piece of red cloth suspended by a string. Its purpose would be to drive away the evil eye and provide protection against negative energies. The fetish is replaced when the plants are moldy, which means that they have absorbed everything they could and are no longer effective enough. I noticed that since the COVID waves (I was in Jodhpur during the pandemic), the number of fetishes has decreased significantly. While there were plenty of them on the floor and above the doors, I saw significantly less on my next trip. Why? I have seen these fetishes in a few other surrounding cities like Bikaner for example, but never outside Rajasthan.

When to visit Jodhpur?

jodhpur tourist map

When is the best time to visit Jodhpur?

  ●   Favourable periods

The ideal months to visit Jodhpur with cool weather at night and pleasant during the day are January, February or even March and from November to December.

  ●   Unfavourable periods

June, July and August fall into the monsoon period. It’s raining a lot. The remaining months are the hottest with temperatures difficult to travel.

Where to stay in Jodhpur?

Being a tourist city, Jodhpur has the advantage of offering a wide choice of places to sleep ranging from very cheap to luxury:  

There are many options for tight budgets. Guesthouses and backpacker hostels are numerous (although many establishments have closed since the pandemic….). Single rooms can easily be found from 400 INR (often with bargaining). For very tight budgets, there are many dorm options. However, all the cheap establishments are located in the vicinity of the old town. It is complicated, for example, to stay around the station since hotels do not have licenses for welcoming foreigners.  

By mid-range I mean a comfortable room with all standard options from about 1700 INR. These hotels are very numerous throughout the city.  

Upscale / Luxury

Jodhpur offers a wide choice of luxury hotels. Many palaces or historical monuments have been converted into hotels such as Khaas Bagh, Umaid Bhawan Palace or Bal Samand (this is just a sample!) . Without a doubt an interesting experience if you can afford it.

Bundi is a historic town in Rajasthan located near Kota. It shares some similarities with Jodhpur and its architecture as well as its appearance with all its blue houses. However, its atmosphere is quite different. It is said that Bundi is a city off the beaten track but this is not (or no longer) the case at all. Tourism is well established and the number of guesthouses testifies to this. But well, the city is still less visited. Discover all the things to do and places not to be missed in Bundi in this travel guide:

Indargarh is a city in Rajasthan completely off the beaten track. In fact, I was looking for cities in “garh” on Google Maps in order to visit forts in cities with little traffic. That’s how I found Indargarh which is a very small unexplored city. The locality is dominated by a very imposing fort that gives the air of Bundi and Jodhpur in smaller. A beautiful little neighborhood of blue houses is at his feet.

Top 13 Things to Do in Jodhpur, Rajasthan

jodhpur tourist map

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

Tim Makins/Getty Images

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!
