Exploring Jodhpur: The Blue City of India | Episode 5

If you are planning to visit Jodhpur you are in for a treat. In this video we will take you through a casual tour of some of the best places which you could cover in a day. Jodhpur is full of history, culture, and stunning architecture and the old town is where you find the true magic. Considering the old city has narrow lanes and bylanes the most convenient way is to explore the city by hiring a bike or on foot, well we chose the bike as it would allow us to cover more places and navigate through the city traffic.

Our first place of visit was

1) Ghanta Ghar: Also known as the Clock Tower of Jodhpur, is a popular landmark in the heart of the city. It's a beautiful monument that dates back to 1911 and serves as a gateway to the vibrant market area where you can find everything from spices and handicrafts to clothing and jewellery. It's a great place to experience the local culture and do some shopping.

2) Mehrangarh Fort is one of the most iconic landmarks in Jodhpur. The Fort covers an area of 1,200 acres This massive fort sits atop a hill and offers panoramic views of the city. Inside the fort, you'll find a museum that houses a collection of weapons, costumes, and artifacts from the region's history.

3) Toorji ka Jalra is a stepwell that was built in the 18th century. It's a stunning example of Rajasthani architecture and engineering. The stepwell has a series of narrow steps that lead down to the water, and the walls are covered in intricate carvings and designs. Amazing place to spend an evening watching people jump into the well for a dip and have fun.

4) Jaswant Thada is a magnificent white marble cenotaph. The cenotaph is an architectural masterpiece that features intricately carved marble domes and pillars, all made from white marble. It's located just a short distance from the Mehrangarh Fort and offers stunning views of the city below. Jaswant Thada is set in a picturesque location amidst well-manicured gardens and a small lake. The intricate carvings and detailed craftsmanship of the marble are truly breathtaking. Whether you're a history buff, architecture enthusiast, or simply looking for a peaceful place to relax, Jaswant Thada is sure to leave a lasting impression on you.

5) Kalyana Lake is a man-made lake that was built in the 1870s to provide water to the city. Today, it's a popular spot for boating and picnicking. You can also take a walk around the lake and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
A visit to Kalyana Lake is a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and connect with nature. It's a beautiful spot to spend a peaceful afternoon and soak in the natural beauty of Jodhpur.

All this touring would be incomplete without visiting the infamous Chaturbhuj Rameshchand sweet shop which serves the worlds best gulab jamun and trying out some local delicacies both sweet and spicy.

All in all from stunning architecture to the beautiful lakes, there's something here for everyone which makes Jodhpur a must visit place.
