Mandore garden was the last attractions which I saw in Jodhpur. When I reach here, I didn’t saw any ticket counter which made me a bit sad because as per my experience most attractions in India that don’t have an entry ticket aren’t properly maintained. But I can’t say this for Mandore Garden. Mandore has…
Apart from Mehrangarh Fort, Umaid Bhawan Palace is the second stunning attraction which only a fool will miss. I decided to visit Umaid Bhawan on Day 2 as its impossible to see Mehrangarh Fort, Jaswant Thada, three stepwells and this grand palace in a day. I reached UBP (Umaid Bhawan Palace) by 10:00 AM and…
The third stepwell sites which I visited in Jodhpur Rajasthan, after Toor Ji Ka Jhalra and Mahila Bagh Ka Jhalra, was Birkha Bawri. Now Birkha Bawri isn’t a 6th or 16th century Ancient India Stepwell, built by a royal family. Birkha Bawri is a 21st-century Stepwell developed by real estate firm, Umaid Heritage. Moreover, this…
After spending half an hour at Toor Ji Ka Jhalra, I visited Mahila Bagh Ka Jhalra, which is the second of three stepwell sites I visited in Jodhpur. Mahila Bagh Ka Jhalra isn’t as big or clean as Toor Ji ka Jhalra, but this site has a lover, an Irish citizen name Caron Pierre. Now the…
I visited Jodhpur in Nov’16 and visited some fantastic sites like Mehrangarh Fort, Jaswant Thada, Umaid Bhawan and a few more. But for me, this tour was to capture and add pictures/ content in my collection of Ancient Indian Stepwells, that are worth seeing. So after visiting Mehrangarh Fort and Jaswant Thada, I parked my…
After a two tour of Mehrangarh Fort, I packed my camera and just drove 1 km to reach this temple type structure, which is also mentioned as The Taj Mahal of Marwar – Jaswant Thada I parked next to this magnificent statue of Rao Jodha (founder of Jodhpur) and paid Rs 30 to enter this…
Mehrangarh Fort – Now that’s a massive structure. I bet, on its best day more than 10,000 people use to work here. So far in my previous two posts, I have shared details on the seven gates and beautiful sites of Shringar Chowk. In this third & final post of three part series, I have shared pictures of palaces…
As Mehrangarh Fort is not just a 30-minute tour, type of site. So, you must keep two hours aside to explore this huge castle. Similarly, I have to share my trip to Mehrangarh Fort in three different posts. Here is the link to post 1, that share all the features, pictures of the outer structure of Mehrangarh…
In Jodhpur, there are two buildings which one can see from any three storey apartment. One is the Umaid Bhawan Palace, which is now a 7-star hotel and second of the astonishing Mehrangarh Fort. I arrived Jodhpur from Pushkar which is a 4 hours road trip, as Jodhpur is 200 km away. Now you may know that…
