Jodhpur is the second largest city in Rajasthan. It is also known as the ‘Blue City’, thanks to most houses being painted a distinct shade of blue. If you don’t believe us, trying getting a bird’s-eye view of the city from an aeroplane or from the lofty Mehrangarh Fort!

Full of spectacular palaces and magnificent havelis, a trip to Jodhpur means never running out of sightseeing options. One of the most famous tourist spots is of course Mehrangarh Fort, whose premises contain Moti Mahal, Phool Mahal, Sheesh Mahal, and the Zenana.

Then there’s the towering Umaid Bhawan Palace, Khejarla Fort, and several lakes and markets. Shopping enthusiasts should visit the Ghanta Ghar (clock tower) in the market area if they want to buy local handicrafts, silver, sweets, or textiles.

Apart from sightseeing and shopping, travellers can also meet the Bishnoi community in the comfort of their homes. Learn about their culture, the fiercely protected blackbuck deer, and the tribe’s passion for preserving the vegetation and animal life around them.

After a day filled with activities, one can opt to stay within the city at one of the several resorts in Jodhpur. If you wish to go off the beaten track and experience some peace and quiet on your holiday, head straight to Pratap Niwas, a Club Mahindra affiliate. Nestled in the lap of nature, this royal haveli can be described as being more of a glorious palace than a hotel.
