Jodphur Trips & Tours

Next up on Rajasthan’s multi-coloured inventory of rainbow metropolises is the Blue City, otherwise known as Jodhpur. Legend states that the colour was chosen by the Brahmins to differentiate themselves from the lower castes of India and a wander through the tumble of alleys will take you past cornflower houses and cerulean roofs, glistening lazily in the sunshine. Like any good Rajasthani city, the streets are alive with sweet-smelling spice markets and merchants peddling everything and anything from puppets to temple decorations, and of course, those famous jodhpurs. Then, standing serenely over the bustle and sights is the mighty Mehrangarh Fort, a rock-hued sentinel that’s packed with myth, history and legend. Rickshaw to the ramparts to marvel at the architecture (and the view), discover secret tunnels and create your own version of history, or get your heart-rate going with a zip-line along the turrets.
