Jodhpur was built in 1459 by Rao Jodhaji. The city became wealthy owing to its strategic location on the Silk Route. The modern Jodhpur has changed a lot from the medieval days, but the temples, palaces and tanks remain as a reminder of those glorious days gone by. Whether you take part in the colorful festivals of Rajasthan, or let the exuberance of the people pull you into a joyous whirlpool of desert songs and camel races, Jodhpur will reveal an enchanting facet to you each time.

Start your Jodhpur tour with a tour of the Meherangarh Fort. The fort stretches over 5 kilometers, and is located on a sheer cliff 125 feet in height. The beautiful latticed windows, panels, and the ornate palaces inside the fort are the highlights of your Jodhpur tour. The exquisite Moti Mahal, Phool Mahal and Sheesh Mahal are opulent and dazzling. The fort also has a museum that showcases weapons, costumes and cannons from that era.

The Umaid Bhawan Palace was built in order to provide employment to people hit by years of draught. One wing of the palace houses the royal family of Jodhpur. The Rai ka Bagh was built in 1663 by the wife of Jaswant Singh I. The Umaid Bhawan is another one of Jodhpur tourist attractions. Built by Rana Umed Singh, the garden has lawns, trees, flowers and fountains. You can shop for bandhini textiles, kolhapuri footwear and the famous Rajasthani spices on Jodhpur tours.
