Jodhpur Walk With Kuku

See the beautiful highlights of Jodhpur city without the risk of getting lost on this fun guided tour. Your local guide will give you an insider’s perspective of the culture and history of the Blue City. You’ll visit must-see attractions like hilltop Mehrangarh Fort, the Umaid Bhawan Palace Museum, and the attractive blue lanes of the old town.

The tower was built by Maharaja Sardar Singh, from whom the adjacent Sardar Market takes its name. An ancient clock tower stands tall, preserved in the middle of the city, believed to be the sole source for tracking time for locals in earlier times. The top of this tower gives an amazing panorama of the city

Mehrangarh Fort stands a hundred feet in splendor on a perpendicular cliff, four hundred feet above the sky line of Jodhpur. Burnished red sand stone, imposing, invincible and yet with a strange haunting beauty that beckons . Much has been written about the Citadel of the Sun, for truly, it is one of the most impressive in all Rajasthan. So colossal are its proportions that Rudyard Kipling called it “ the work of giants”. Today, it is acknowledged as one of the best preserved fort in India.

Beautiful memorial in marble often described as the “Taj Mahal of Marwar” was built in memory of Maharaja Jaswant Singhjill of Jodhpur (1873-1895) by his son Maharaja Sardar Singhji (1895-1911) completed in 1906 A.D.

The main hall has been built like a temple where puja (ritual) is also performed. The worship of ancestors is common to the Rajput clans.

Today, Jaswant Thada is managed and looked after by the Mehrangarh Museum Trust (MMT) and is open to public. The Trust is operating a Museum in Jaswant Thada displaying portraits of Marwar rulers along with informative didactics – the information serves as orientation space to understand the history of Marwar through the Portraits. Its grounds serve as a serene venue for morning concerts during music festivals such as the Rajasthan International Folk Festival and the World Sacred Spirit Festival.

Gleaming in golden sandstone, the Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur sits high above the Blue City, amid 26 acres of gardens. This heritage palace hotel in Jodhpur awaits your arrival for a truly regal sojourn. Even today, it remains an active royal residence with family members residing in their own wing. Each room and suite at Umaid Bhawan Palace features modern comforts and luxurious furnishings for an unparalleled experience of authentic royalty. Like the Maharajas of the past, dine on recipes handed down generations of royal chefs or on the European favourites brought back

The Step Well Square is a mini-architectural tour with the Toorji’s Step Well at the center, and almost 250 yrs of building traddition on view. Built in the 1740s, submerged for decades, its recent restoration uncovered over 200 hundred feet of hand carved treasure. Spend a few hours exploring this architectural wonder, and lunch, dine, sip or shop at the many restaurants and shops in the square.

THE SECOND LARGEST CITY IN the Indian state of Rajasthan, this “Blue City” is a mesmerizing collection of azure abodes that soothes and delights anyone that beholds it.

In the city of Jodhpur, a sea of boxy indigo houses stretches for more than 10 kilometers along the walls of the historic walled old city. A blue pigment coating on a house used to indicate that a Brahmin—the priests of the Indian caste system—dwelled there, but over time the color became a badge of identity for non-Brahmins, too. It’s also said to have insect-repelling abilities.Situated on the edge of the Thar Desert, Jodhpur is also called the “Sun City,” named for the overwhelming amount of bright and sunny days it experiences. It is home to famed forts, palaces, mausoleums, gardens, lakes, and towers, making it a hotspot for tourist activity. Since its founding more than 500 years ago, the city has earned renown for its textile industry, exquisite furniture shops, delectable cuisine, and bustling bazaars.
