Heading to the Wild west of Rajasthan
... to the central piece of interest, the Mehrangarh Fort, built in the 16th century on a hill top, above the blue city. Jodhpur used indigo to colour the walls, as it cooled the city during the summer, and provided an insect repellant as well. These ...
Jodhpur, home of riding trousers
... , Raj collected the bribe/admin fee and we had more chai. He let me in on another secret - he could obtain, here in Jodhpur, the finest Afghanistani charras known to man. Lovely fellow but dodgy as you like; I'm pretty sure had I taken him up ...
Next city
... (yes read it again) trying to get a ticket in Mumbai train station, I began to become a little frustrated the way things worked in India. Stuff works but it just works in a different way to how you think. Not being a local person made it about a million ...

Jodhpur
... jump out of my chair (the cafe owner didn't flinch but Waz thought it was hilarious). City of blue... Jodphur. So far in India, this is the city I have liked the most. Once you pass through the city walls and towards the clock tower, the place has ...
Endlich!
Hallo Leute! Endlich ist es nun soweit: Das lang geplante und drei Monate nicht realisierte Reisetagebuch im Internet feiert einen Geburtstag. Hoffe es macht euch Spass, meiner Reise so etwas naeher folgen zu koennen. Soll aber nicht die persoenlichen ...
Back to Medieval Times
... already dripping with sweat. I ran out of deodorant 2 days ago, and I thought I had brought enough for the whole trip. Jodhpur very much looks unlike a tourist town which is nice. It seems we have missed tourist season for the most part, and locals in ...
More Sun and Sand but No Delhi Belly!
Jodphur is a much larger city than we expected. We stayed at an excellent guesthouse that provided some R&R during the high heat - 110 degrees in the afternoon and was right at the base of Meherangarh Fort. It is also called the Blue ...
Johdpur..the blue city
Thu 7th An overnight bus and a dodgy rickshaw brought us to the guesthouse at about 4am. They had no room but allowed us to sleep on the sofa in the courtyard outside...how ...

Fort and Flying Fox
... lit by the bright lights; it looked like an impenetrable structure at day but even more so in the night. Our second day in Jodhpur was spent lazing around as I felt pretty sick; I went to the hospital at night to see the doctor and was prescribed some ...
Safaris and celebrations
... the way out, I saw a buffalo and its calf go right into a house! They shooed it out, but that happens a lot in India. Indirajit organized a lunch for us at the place and also a GREAT chocolate cake for Tallulah!!! That was really nice - Lu also got ...
Jodhpur, la ville bleue

La ville bleue

Jodhpur
We arrived at 5 30 am and walked to a guest house that was in the lonely planet. We slept for a couple of hours as I was still tired after our train journey . We had some food and head out to see the fort. Its very impressive looking. ...
The Blue City...and BATMAN!!
"Welcome to Jodhpur. The local time is 6pm and it is plus 40 outside."....the announcement from the airplane says. Flying into Jodhpur, a city in the desert, is quite the view~! You can see the old forts, built high up on hills, the blue city, and the ...
Too hot on the rock
Price of beer: Shop, unknown. Restaurant maybe 100Rs (can't properly remember) Transport: Hot sweaty bus Weather: Hotter than hell Stopped in Jodhpur for a couple of nights, where it was far too hot to do anything. Went and had a look at the mighty fort ...
Sticks and Stones
... hours so that Adam may check his work email and for us to change some money. There is only one ATM we've found in Jodhpur, next to a nicer hotel. We decided to go there by foot since it was only 2 miles from our guest house. ...
Into the blue ....
... to some random information on the audio tour we were also treated to the sight of a local guide wearing his jodhpurs - in Jodhpur - thankfully Dave has resisted the urge to have his own tailor made pair! From the fort we made the relatively short walk ...
Omelettes, Luxury & A Taste Of Home
... , a temple in the centre of town. My route their was definitely the road less travelled. I ended up going through Jodhpur's real backstreets. Narrow, winding and seemingly without exit. They were filled with all the usual suspects; cows, goats, ...
The Blue City
Pretty good place Jodhpur. The Maharaja's wealth has made the fort a great place to visit and allegedly the only fort never overcome. The height and the tricky gates made it strong. Even teams of elephants couldnt knock them down. The alleys have the ...
Jodhpur Day 2
... an auto to take us up to Jaswant Thada, a beautiful marble cenotaph which it close to the main Meherangarh Fort in Jodhpur which is located on the top of the big hill overlooking the city. We then wandered up to the fort and spent ...
Rajasthan Tour - City #1
This is known as the Blue City due to the hue of many of the houses here. Back in the day Indigo was used to repel mosquitoes and also for its cooling factor. Its a great sight to look out at a sea of blue from the Fort. The Fort ...
The Blue City
... I go. Jaipur was a little sandy on the streets but Jodhpur you can tell by the heat and rocks is more barren. Jodhpur is amazing and the atmosphere is wonderful again. No hassles at all and I walked from the train station to the main accommodation ...
Jodhpur
Our most interesting journey in India so far, involving an overnight train from Jaipur to Jodhpur. Remarkably we got a little sleep and arrived in Jodhpur only 2 hours late. We read in the Times of India that Liz Hurley's wedding was taking place ...
Jodphur Day 1
Sunday and today we've been in India for a week, now time to move on to Jodhpur. Bearing in mind the 2.5 hour train delay we'd experienced in Agra, we decided to ask the hotel if they could find out how our train to Jodhpur was doing, a good job it ...
From Majestic Thar to Congested Bazaar
So Jaisalmer was a success, as we were all able to start enjoying the trip instead of worrying about who would wake up sick. I remember lying down for bed on our first night there and deciding I was finally in a healthy travel mode. I was now ready for ...
