Jodhpur sits on the eastern edge of the Thar Desert and is dominated by Mehrangarh Fort, one of Rajasthan’s most imposing strongholds. Below it, the old city’s blue houses and markets create a dense urban landscape.
Fort and old city
Mehrangarh deserves unhurried exploration for its architecture, collections and extraordinary views. Walking through the old city afterwards reveals markets, shrines and everyday life at a more intimate scale.
Gateway to rural Rajasthan
Jodhpur combines naturally with desert camps, Rohet, Narlai and Jawai. Several exceptional heritage hotels also make the city a destination rather than simply a stop between Jaipur and Udaipur.
