A must-see stop on your Rajasthan tour
Alleyways wind their way through the mesmerizing blue city, taking you on a colourful journey through time
Jodhpur is a must-see on your travels around the deserts of Rajasthan. Wandering the alleyways you’ll hear different stories of why the city is painted blue. No one really seems to have the definitive answer, but as you stand on the majestic Mehrangarh Fort overlooking the sprawling blue city, the effect of the colour is quite breath-taking. Back down in the shadow of the fort, you’ll find a vibrant and atmospheric market, selling everything from leather and silk to jewellery and spices.
In October, Jodhpur is home to the Rajasthan International Folk Festival (RIFF), one of India’s best festivals showcasing traditional music from India and around the world. This is popular so book well in advance!
