One of the best views all year!
... way by tuk-tuk all the way up to the ancient fort and climbed the fort's wall, I had the most breath-taking view imaginable! Jodphur is nicknamed 'the blue city', since a large part of the houses are painted blue. From up the fort's wall, it's just ...

Blue city
... good thing they did here is that with the entrance they give you an audio guide that is totally worth listening to as you visit. The views from the rampart were just as good as the fort itself. I think if one day you make it to India it is a must ...

Days 12 and 13 - Jodphur and Bhenswara
Day 12 - Another day, another 4am start for a 6 hour bus ride to a noisy, dirty Indian city. Actually Jodphur isn't that bad, I just felt a little jaded today. Slept for most of the day, I was completely knackered. Had a walking tour in the afternoon ...
The land of the beer bottles

Ranakpur and Jodpur
From the magic lakes of Udapur we headed north to Jodphur, stopping at a place called Ranakpur along the way. Ranakpur is where one of the largest Jain temples is and we were both really impressed with it, from the inside (1,444 marble pillars, each one ...
Cosy (guesthouse) and camels
We had said we would probably stay only 1 night and try a big chill out when we would eventually reach Delhi. However our stomachs said otherwise. Spent most of the day in front of the cooler and having an auld long sit down on the porcelin throne. I ...
The killer bus journey

Fit for a Queen, shame about the flies
Rajasthan seemed to effect us as it did many others, and the dodgy stomachs which we had been so blase about returned. Trying to leave Udaipur saw us miss one coach due to Jo, then me popping pills to make sure we got to Jodhpur without any accidents and ...
Mini Delhi
... first impression of Jodphur was that it was a mini Dehli and in the 2 days we spent there thats impression didnt change. Jodphur is the Blue City of India as many of the houses are painted blue. We found out that this has a purpose, 1- to keep the ...
