Jodhpur & Jaisalmer

Rajasthan the largest state of India is also the most colourful one. Since a prominent part is a barren landscape it is said that the people resorted to wearing colourful attire to do away with monotony. Rajasthan literally meaning “the abode of Rajas(or kings) “ is rich in heritage. You will be able to experience the royalty of historic forts and the grandeur of palatial lifestyle. Towards the west is a barren land full of sand dunes with scarce vegetation called the Thar desert, the beauty of which is unique. This is where the Golden City Jaisalmer lies, built with yellow sandstone. Every building has this golden yellow hue including the iconic Jaisalmer Fort that is one of the few living forts in the world, meaning, the fort is inhabited by the local people. Camping in the desert and adventure activities like Jeep Safari are some of the must-do activities that you may relish.
Not far from Jaisalmer is Jodhpur, the blue city. You will find the light blue coloured houses in the walled city. The best view is from the top of the grand Mehrangarh Fort that also happens to be the largest fort in all of Rajasthan. Jodhpur is also popular for the authentic Rajasthani delicacy including sweets, samosa-kachori etc. Tourists and travelers often cover both Jaisalmer and Jodhpur in their trip, it’s a perfect combo.
