Overview

This full-day tour in Jodhpur begins with pickup at your hotel and transport in an air-conditioned car accompanied by an English-speaking driver and guide. The first stop is Jaswant Thada, a royal cenotaph built in 1899 with adjoining gardens, where you spend about an hour. Next, the tour continues to Mehrangarh Fort, located on a hill 150 meters above the city. This 15th-century fort includes palaces, galleries, temples, and a museum. Visitors can learn about the fort’s history through an optional audio guide available in multiple languages, though this is not included in the price. Time allocated here is approximately two hours. After the fort, the tour proceeds to the Blue City area for about an hour of walking. This includes wandering the narrow lively streets and markets, viewing blue-painted houses and havelis, visiting historic lakes such as Ranisar Lake, and interacting with locals to hear stories about the neighborhood. The next short stop is Toorji Ka Jhalra, a stepwell built in the 1740s by a queen during Maharaja Abhay Singh’s reign. The site showcases sandstone steps and is visited for about 20 minutes. Following this, the tour drives to Umaid Bhawan Palace, a 20th-century palace constructed to provide employment during famine times. It is now partly a 5-star heritage hotel. The visit lasts about one hour. The final stop is the Clock Tower Market, known for its late 19th to early 20th-century clock tower built during Maharaja Sardar Singh’s rule. The market is a center for shopping, especially spices. Visitors spend about half an hour here before returning to their hotel. Included are hotel pickup and drop-off, transportation in an air-conditioned car, an English-speaking driver and guide, all applicable taxes, and parking fees. Food, drinks, gratuities, and the optional audio guide are not included.
