Top 13 Things to Do in Jodhpur, Rajasthan

tourist attractions jodhpur

Jodhpur, the second-largest city in Rajasthan (albeit pleasingly unspoiled by haphazard development), has a fascinating past. Located on the edge of the Thar desert, about 155 miles from the border with Pakistan, Jodhpur is, in fact, where the eponymous pants got their name from! These unusual pants were designed by the Maharaja of Jodhpur's son, Pratap Singh, and worn by his polo team when visiting the Queen of England in 1897. It is famous for its blue buildings, initially painted to signify that they were occupied by Brahmins, the highest caste in India.

This list of top Jodhpur attractions and places to visit will give you a diverse city experience. Jodhpur Heritage Walk conducts an immersive three- to four-hour guided tour through the city. If you have a spare day or two, visit nearby Bishnoi village or Osian, where you can see carved temples and go on a less-touristy camel safari. 

Explore Mehrangarh Fort

Imposing Mehrangarh Fort, which rises above the "Blue City," is one of the largest and most famous forts . As impressive as it is, as a well-preserved heritage structure, there's so much more to discover inside. The fort has been privately restored, and its museum has an outstanding display of royal memorabilia, including about 15,000 items from Maharaja Gaj Singh II's collection. It also has the only professional museum shop in India. The cultural performances that happen daily at various places inside the fort, as part of the particular focus on folk art and music, are another highlight. Plan your visit with this complete guide to Mehrangarh Fort .

Want a romantic evening dinner? The Chokelao Mahal Terrace restaurant serves traditional Rajasthani cuisine, which sparkles below. The Fort is also an evocative setting for music festivals. Don't miss the annual Rajasthan International Folk Festival in October and World Sufi Spirit Festival in February .

Ride the Jodhpur Flying Fox

Adventure lovers can't pass up the unique opportunity to zip-line with Mehrangarh Fort as the backdrop. The circuit has six zip lines and takes around 90 minutes to complete. Groups of up to 12 people depart at appointed times. It's located on the north side of the Mehrangarh Fort.

Relax at Jaswant Thada

In honor of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II, this intricately crafted cenotaph (empty commemorative tomb) was built in 1899. It features white marble lattice screens and whimsical domes, while the inside is adorned with portraits of Rathore rulers. It's a peaceful place to relax and enjoy stunning views of the Fort and city. Many a tired tourist sprawls on the front lawn to recuperate after sightseeing.

Wander Through Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park

The Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park was developed in 2006 to restore the natural ecology of a large rocky wasteland area next to the Fort. Neglected for many years, the park was overrun by an invasive thorny shrub. After the bush was eradicated, more than 80 native species of rock-loving plants from the Thar desert were grown there. The Park extends 70 hectares (around 200 acres) of rehabilitated land and has a walking trail. It's interesting to explore at different times of the year, as its foliage changes with the seasons.

Check Out the Clock Tower and Old City Markets

A trip to Jodhpur wouldn't be complete without visiting the bustling Old City. Many people choose to stay in this area, too, as some of the best budget hotels in Jodhpur are located there and have fabulous Fort views. The Old City's famous landmark, the clock tower, stands at the heart of it—and it's still working! Next to it, Sadar Market retains a traditional village bazaar feel. It's chaotic and colorful and sells almost everything, including handicrafts, spices, saris, and fabric. If you feel uncomfortable in crowds, you might prefer to take a walking tour rather than explore the market area yourself, as the congestion can be overwhelming. These walking tours offered by Jodhpur Magic and Virasat Experiences are two recommended options.

Dine Overlooking the Step Well

An exciting Urban Regeneration Project is being undertaken to transform the Old City into its former glory, but with a vibrant and hip spin. As a result, Jodhpur has a newly restored yet ancient stepwell, located just north of the clock tower. Built in the 1740s and called Toorji ka Jhalra, it sat stagnant for years until the owners of the new heritage boutique RAAS hotel purified the pool and sandblasted the steps. The area has been turned into a contemporary square with cool cafes and shops, including a Good Earth home decor store and a branch of Jaipur-based Gem Palace. A secret door at the RAAS hotel will take you directly to Step Well Square. Step Well Cafe has the same owners as RAAS and provides the best view over the stepwell. It serves Continental and Indian cuisine, plus alcohol. However, its menu is quite limited.

Stroll Along the Streets of the Blue City

Unlike the crowded clock tower area, the blue part of Jodhpur behind the fort, known as Navchokiya, is refreshingly quiet and devoid of tourists. Don't miss spending some time leisurely strolling along its streets. It's also possible to go on a guided walking tour of the area to learn more about it. You can even stay amid the blue houses: Some of the top options in the area are  Singhvi's Haveli ,  Jewel Palace Haveli , Rani Mahal, and Jaswant Bhawan Homestay .

Tour the Area Around Gulab Sagar

About 10 minutes walk north of Toorji ka Jhalra stepwell is Gulab Sagar. This 18th-century lake played an essential role in Jodhpur's traditional water management system. Not only does it provide a superb spot for photographing Mehrangarh Fort in the background, but there are also many interesting step wells and temples hidden in the lanes around it. They include Mahila Bagh Ka Jhalra step well and Kunjabihari Temple dedicated to Lord Krishna. You can discover them on this Step Wells and Temples walking tour .

Marvel at Umaid Bhawan Palace

Magnificent Umaid Bhawan Palace, completed in 1944, was one of India's last grand palaces to be built. The royal family of Jodhpur still occupies a section of it. Most of the remainder has been converted into a luxurious palace hotel, and unfortunately, it's off-limits to anyone who's not staying there. If you can't afford $600 or more per night for a room, you can still get a glimpse inside the palace by having a pricey dinner at one of its restaurants or visiting the museum. The museum mainly displays old photos of the Maharaja and his family. There's a vintage watch and car collection as well. If you're into that kind of thing, it's worthwhile going there. Otherwise, you may be disappointed as you'll get to see very little of the palace.

Take a Cooking Class at Spice Paradise

Spice Paradise is a spice shop run by a kindhearted husband and wife team (their unique masala chai blend has been refined and perfected over the years and is highly recommended). In their humble kitchen, they also conduct Indian cooking classes, which are hugely popular with foreigners. Along with delicious recipes, you'll get to meet a lovely family and gain priceless insight into Indian culture. If you don't have much time in Jodhpur, do book in advance as classes are often full.

Sample Some Indian Sweets

If you love not just Indian sweets but all kinds of Indian snacks, you'll want to visit the iconic Janta Sweet Home , renowned for making some of the best treats in Jodhpur. They're fresh and delicious, and the range is vast. Try the Mawa Kachori, a prestigious dish that originated from Jodhpur.​

Shop at Sambhali Boutique

Sambhali Boutique is the perfect place to pick up some high-quality Jodhpur handicrafts and clothing in Indian and Western styles. All products are made by underprivileged women taught and employed by the Sambhali Trust. Items include silk and cotton camels and elephants, block-printed scarves and curtains, and shoulder bags. Custom orders can also be placed.

If you're looking for cheap accommodations, the Sambhali Trust operates from a very charming little guesthouse (the Durag Niwas Guest House ) that's a hit with backpackers. Long-term stays with all meals provided are possible.

Visit Mandore and Mandore Gardens

Mandore was the capital of the Marwar region before Jodhpur was founded, but now it's in a neglected state. There's an old fort, an eclectic collection of temples and cenotaphs, and a small museum in the Mandore Gardens. The gardens are beautiful, albeit unkempt in places, and used as a local picnic spot. They're worth visiting for the fantastic architecture and history of a bygone era. The best time to go is during the week when it's quietest. If you love monkeys, you'll find plenty there! But be careful that they don't snatch your food!

When is the best time to visit Jodhpur

As i’ve said before there are 3 main seasons in India : there’s the dry and sunny winter, the scorching hot summer and monsoon season. It’s safe to say the first one is the preferred choice for traveling through Rajasthan.

I can know, I traveled through Rajasthan in the middle of May, and even that I am still alive to tell the tale, there were soooo many moments where I simply couldn’t move from the heat. I had to cool off in air conditioned rooms and was only able to explore the cities in the early morning.

It would be shame to mis out on so many exploring options dimply because of weather circumstances.

From October until March is the ideal time to visit Jodhpur and to travel around Rajasthan . Do know that while during the day you’ll be able to enjoy temperatures up to 25°C it does get rather cold in the evening so make sure to bring layers with you.

Tourist Attractions in Jodhpur

Sun kissed city of Rajasthan - Jodhpur, set on the landscape of Thar Desert is a tourist’s dream in every sense. It’s architectural splendour is a fine blend of European, Mughal and Indo-Saracenic style, that has enriched the panorama of Indian architecture. The major highlight being the Mehrangarh fort, whose imposing structure sits atop a hill, looking down at the blue tinted city façade below. Lattice work and elegant jharokhas line the interiors of this masterpiece of Jodhpur. The 10 km long rampart with eight gates leading out of it, is attached to the fort, that separates the old city from the new city, not letting the city’s old world charm being dominated by the modern consumerist attitudes. This is what the best thing about Jodhpur that makes it a popular tourist destination in Rajasthan. Apart from the prominent Mehrangarh Fort, the other historical monuments and majestic palaces that abound in Jodhpur, are counted amongst the top travel places in Jodhpur, as the city is ensconced in a region where kings ruled and actively fought battles to protect their territories. For a start, the magnificent Umaid Bhawan Palace is a treat for the architecture and history buffs. Though this monument is now converted to a heritage hotel but the museum is still open for public. Tourists visiting Jodhpur can plan their stay in this charming palace for the most memorable holidays spent in the land of the royals. The other popular historical tourists places are Jaswant Thada Palace; which is the mausoleum for Jaswant Singh II, the European style summer palace - The Balsamand Lake Palace, and Rai Ka Bag Palace; the favorite palace of King Jaswant Singh-II, that must be included in your Jodhpur sightseeing holidays package. The lush gardens within these palace yards are worth spending time in.

Then, the Hindu temple of Ramdev atop Masuria hill is a place worth a visit. And also the Ossian Temples, that are just a few kilometers away from Jodhpur, are perfectly maintained and resplendent in their beauty. Among the top sightseeing places of Jodhpur, these temples and lakes are peaceful ventures. Other than indulging into the past, the top things to do while visiting Jodhpur, is bird watching and exploring wildlife at its sylvan lakes, namely; Balsamand, Kaylana, Gulab Sagar, along with the serene Ranisar Padamsar lake, that are the cheerful abode of the rare birds and wildlife. The city comes with the great opportunity of flying fox, across the magnificent forts and enjoy the bird’s eye view of the vivid landscapes of Jodhpur. Camel safari on the sand dunes- is another popular activity in Jodhpur, you just can not miss on to. But, if you wish to go beyond the regular listing, a visit to the local Bishnoi Village would definitely enthrall you with the pastoral lifestyle of the locals. You might even get treated with the sumptuous authentic food of Rajasthan by them, if got lucky. The visit to Jodhpur is incomplete without getting lost in the misleading streets of the old city, which is blessed with eating joints selling mouth-watering traditional snacks, and also the tangles of winding shopping streets boasting the folklore art and textile fashion evident of Jodhpur’s heritage. But before embarking on your trip to Jodhpur, a travel guide like Tour My India, would help you to streamline your plans and would also pre inform you about how to best experience this delightful blue city. The holidays spent in Jodhpur can refresh you and become that perfect getaway from a hectic metro life that you will want to visit again and again.
