Description
Begin your adventure at Ghanta Ghar, where we'll embark on our exploration of Jodhpur. Join us to uncover the unique charm that this notable city in Rajasthan possesses!
Adjacent to the clock tower, positioned at the city's core, we will investigate the captivating history surrounding Maharaja Sir Sardar Singh, the visionary behind this iconic structure built two centuries ago. Known today as the Rajasthan Tower, this important site marks the threshold of Old Jodhpur. From the tower’s heights, you will also be treated to spectacular panoramic vistas of the city.
Our following destination is the Toorji Ka Jhalra stepwell, crafted in the 1740s by Maharaja Abhaya Singh. After lying submerged for nearly a hundred years, its recent restoration has showcased intricate hand-carvings in the distinctive pink-red sandstone native to Jodhpur. Here, you will encounter a variety of artistic depictions, including dancing elephants and niches celebrating ancestral gods.
Continuing our journey, we will make our way to the Blue City, meandering through its winding alleys to appreciate the charming residences and bustling market area dubbed Navchowkiya. The striking blue tones are sure to enchant you! As we stroll past various market stalls, you will have the perfect chance to discover and purchase exquisite souvenirs.
As our tour nears its conclusion, we will ascend Pachetia Hill for a stunning panoramic perspective of the city. The vibrant blue is particularly striking during the alluring sunrise and sunset, forming a beautiful tableau with the golden sun. We will also take a moment to visit the Kunj Bihari Temple, dedicated to Shri Kunj Bihari, also known as Lord Krishna, and reveal the significance and fascinating details about this sacred site.
After a thorough three-hour journey, we will conclude our guided tour of Jodhpur close to our starting point.
