Jodhpur Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Try and make from the rain in Shimla but train's a no go because of the landslides. No more buses that day so we check out those running the next day. A rare stroke of luck - accosted by a jovial little man who's taking his taxi back to Delhi that day and wants to fill it. We jump at the chance and are soon winging our way 350km South. Goes so w...

Again, the drive was pretty long to Jodhpur and with our stop to see the Jain temple, we were late getting to Jodhpur. Layton was brilliant and knew the Meherangarh fort closed at 5 pm. So, our driver quickly found us a guide, drove fast to get us up the hill and we made it in the gates before closing. (mind you it was about 4:35 pm when we were...

Il marchio inconfondibile di Jodhpur, ragione che sarebbe sufficiente a venire fino qui, Ë il Meherangarh, la sua fortezza, inerpicata su una altura rocciosa tondeggiante. » un gigante accovacciato su una distesa di case basse ed azzurre. Le sue proporzioni sono sballate rispetto alla citt+, Ë come se fosse la residenza dei titani indiani, affia...

We are now in Jodhpur (the 'Blue City'), in Western Rajasthan. The city (the 2nd largest in Rajasthan) a mix of beautiful ancient forts and palaces viewed from serene cafe rooftops with the chaotic hustle and bustle of life at street level below. Walking around the old town is certainly a challenge! Concentration is key if you want to prevent be...

It has taken me a long time to finally get to India. It has always been a mystery to me, and somehow a place I never had at the top of my list. I have to say, after being here for almost a week up here in the desert, it is reminding me ALOT (landscape, mud houses...)of Mauritania. All the busy streets and the amount of people everywhere make me ...

Jodhpur now. City is fine, but honestly nicer from a distance. Of course, I only see what I am taken to see as I am not allowed to walk around on my own as per my ball and chain. Granted, there are stares enough as we drive around, I'm not sure I could not remain unbothered if I was to walk around myself, but still. But also, it seems these citi...

Bounced (literally) into Jodhpur and found our hot and bothered way to the Ratan Villas hotel - an oasis of quiet calm in another mad Indian city. The owner, an aged Indian supporter of the Raj who insisted on dressing his staff in uniform, showed us around the hotel (his grandfathers' home) taking us on historical tour of his family history whi...

Day 87 Fri 3rd Feb 2006 A day in Jodhpur I had a mega early start today, 5.30am! remember that thing about the sunrise over the lake, well I didn't want to miss it so I got up and out for around 6.15. I walked the dark, EMPTY and somewhat scary streets of Ajmer until I got to the edge of the lake. There were prayers sounding from loud speakers i...

Aside from the camels and the healthy desert air, people go to Rajasthan for the Maharajas. The place is littered with old forts and most of them are pretty cool. The one in Jaisalmer still has people living in it (good for ambiance; bad for rats), but perhaps the most interesting - and certainly the best presented - is the one at Jodhpur. You g...
