A little About Jodhpur

Beneath the towering Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur’s blue-painted old town spills into the Thar Desert. Walk the fort’s ramparts to see cannon marks from 18th-century battles, then descend into Sardar Market’s spice-scented lanes for silver trinkets and mojris (embroidered shoes). At sunset, sip saffron-infused Makhaniya Lassi near Clock Tower or zip-line across the fort’s cliffs. Time your visit for the RIFF folk festival, where musicians perform under the fort’s torchlit walls. With desert camps in Osian and palatial stays like Umaid Bhawan, Jodhpur is Rajasthan untamed
