About Jodhpur

Jodhpur was the capital of the Marwar kingdom and is dominated by Mehrangarh Fort on its rocky hill. Below the fort, the old city is a maze of lanes lined with houses washed in shades of blue.

The city works well as a base for the Thar Desert. Many of our routes pass through Jodhpur on the way to Osian and Jaisalmer, and it is also the home town of Rajasthan ki Yatra.
