Itinerary
Sardar Market
The Ghanta Ghar, or clock tower, stands about 200 years old in the city center, built by Maharaja Sardar Singh. It marks the entrance to Old Jodhpur and offers panoramic views from the top. Surrounding the tower is the lively Sardar Market, the largest in Jodhpur, where locals sell a wide range of goods and services. The area reflects the daily life and commerce of the city and is especially busy during the day and illuminated at night.
20 min
Toorji Ka Jhalra (Toorji’s Step Well)
This step well was constructed in the 1740s by the queen of Maharaja Abhaya Singh. It was submerged for nearly 100 years before being cleaned and restored. The well reveals over two hundred feet of carved rose-red sandstone with detailed figures including dancing elephants, medieval lion and cow water spouts, and niches where deities were once housed.
30 min
Blue Houses and Market Walk
The tour continues on foot through narrow streets deep within the old city. This area features the famous blue-painted houses and local markets, providing a look at traditional city life and commerce.
45 min
Kunj Bihari Temple
Built in 1847 by Maharaja Vijay Singhji in memory of his son Sher Singh, this temple is crafted from Chittor sandstone and Makrana marble. It belongs to the Rama Nandi Vaishnava Hindu sect. The temple complex also includes a Shiva temple located two floors below ground level, visible from the surface, accessible via a pathway.
30 min
Ranisar Padamsar Lakes
These two adjoining lakes, Ranisar and Padamsar, were created over 500 years ago to conserve water in Jodhpur’s desert environment. Located behind the Mehrangarh Fort near Fateh Pol, the lakes have clear waters maintained over centuries and provide reflections of the fort. The area is calm and contrasts with the imposing fort above.
30 min
Sunset and Sunrise Viewpoint
The final stop offers a vantage point to see sunrise and sunset views over Jodhpur, including the blue houses spread throughout the city.
