Night train to Jaisalmer
This is a top pick! Moon broad but imperfect rides beside the train, beside we passengers that are part of this dark movement across the desert. Small stations pass, a single lamp shining for the silent players upon their stage. We are our own herald. All the ...
The Blue City
This is a top pick! ... . The marble mausoleum was built beside a very small lake, in which it partially reflected. Then it was on to Mehrangarh (Jodhpur Fort), another huge fortress built on a rocky hilltop. Since it was included in the steep ticket price, we took ...

Short but not sweet
This is a top pick! ... it unpleasant. Whilst wandering we came across a bridge and looked over too see kiddies playing in filth, as you do a lot in India. Their little shanty dwellings were on the banks of the Sabarmati river. I saw an old guy squatting at the river's edge ...
"Do you like my India?"
This is a top pick! Jodhpur at sunrise, where we stop long enough for vendors to infiltrate the 2nd class car. The train meals come in little foil containers not unlike airplane food except instead of being reheated, it's all just been freshly cooked. The omellete is hot and ...
India - Jodhpur
This is a top pick! ... rules throughout the years, one of which looked very familiar. We had no idea that Eddie Murphy had previously been a ruler of Jodhpur! (PIC) Perhaps the most moving and thought provoking thing we saw in the whole of India was at Meherangah Fort, ...
Another Fort, another colour.
This is a top pick! Leaving the pink of Jaipur, we reach Jodhpur, named the Blue city... for obvious reasons . Ended up in a completely different hotel, blue as well, called the blue house, sharing a room with a couple of aussies, a small price to pay for a slight ...
The Blue City of Marwar

Rajasthan's Blue City
This is a top pick! We really aren't being lazy but there really isn't much to say about Jodphur or our short time there. It didn't make quite the impression that Jasialmer did but the Fort is quite impressive. We have just uploaded a few photos of the fort and ...
City Of Blues..
This is a top pick! ... clean with all the mod cons at a very reasonable price. Something that is quite elusive in India it would seem. We say, skip Jaipur and come straight to Jodhpur, you won't be disappointed. Next Pod - Jaisalmer, India. Love, Nath and ...
Some Photos - at last!
This is a top pick! Here is a collection of some random photograph - some are snap shots, some are set shots, some are done with digital, some with a 35mm camera. It's a different theme than the last set. Also you will/will not be glad to hear I purchased a new digital ...

Pants!
This is a top pick! ... the streets and the markets taking it easy. We're off tomorrow to Jaisalmer. No doubt we'll be hit up there for a bloody camel safari. Maybe we will and maybe we won't. p.s. did I mention Jodhpur riding pants originated here (but nobody wears ...

The blue city+a huge fort
This is a top pick! ... about Jodpur before I came, but it was a really nice stop along the Rajasthan route. It's a fairly relaxed city (for India!) with a skyline completely dominated by the hulking Mehrangargh fort perched on the hillside, and a maze of winding, compact ...
The Land of Death
This is a top pick! ... the Mehrangarh has played host to. The grandeur and beauty of the Mehrangarh captivated me, and the view from its walls, across Jodhpur and the plains was unbeatable. Jodhpur is called the Blue City because many of its buildings and houses are painted sky ...
Jodhpur
This is a top pick! ... , anywhere in the world! The view from behind the washing machine was that of 'Mahrengrah', the ancient hill-fortress of Jodhpur that overlooks the 'blue-city'. The fort itself was like something from the 'Arabian nights', beautiful screen work ...
The Blue City
This is a top pick! 29th May Johdpur The Merherangarh (Majestic) fort in Jodhpur turned out to live upto it's name and was our favourite from all the forts we visited in Rajisthan. Not because it was the most intact or necessarily the most beautiful but because for us it ...

This is a top pick! ... like. It’s all rather entertaining. Nora, however, wants to start charging a service fee so she can at least get a free lunch each day. Jodhpur is worth about two days of exploring and no more. Time to move ...
Christmas in Jodhpur

Pollution
This is a top pick! After Diu, we arrived back in Ahmadabad. Now we had been here before Diu, and all I can say is that the people here are not very nice, it is heavily polluted. And personally, I think the place is a ...
Camel Safari
This is a top pick! Just arrived in the 'blue city' of Jodhpur, India this afternoon. Usual traffic congestion and chaos. Quite a shock to the system after the relative calm and tranquility of our camel 'safari'. Term used loosely of course because it was ...
The Blues
This is a top pick! ... some markets. We walked through them, no tourists, except us of course and just locals who were doing their shopping. Why couldn't India be more like this everywhere. Eventually, good turns to shit, and we were back in the masses, being asked for things. ...
