Itinerary
Your private tour of Jodhpur begins with a hotel pickup from your guide, before heading to the first stop: the Mandore Gardens. This ancient town, located just outside the city, features spectacular monuments like the Hall of Heroes and the Hindu temple of 33 crore gods, dedicated to 330 million deities.
Next, visit the Balsamand, Padamsar and Ranisar Lakes, key reservoirs in the desert region, situated at the foot of the stunning Mehrangarh Fort, a 15th-century symbol of Jodhpur, offering magnificent panoramic views of the Blue City.
Explore the Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park, which is home to various exotic plants along with a monument dedicated to Rao Jodha, a 15th-century ruler, and the Jaswant Thada mausoleum, an intricately designed marble cenotaph. Then, move towards the city center.
Admire the ancient Toorji ka Jhalra stepwell, created to provide water for the city. Walk towards the heart of the Blue City at the clock tower or Ghanta Ghar, a Victorian monument surrounded by lively markets and bazaars, where you can immerse yourself in local life.
Your journey continues to Jodhpur's notable landmarks, including the Sadar Government Museum, Maharaja Umed Singh stadium, host of events for the International Day of Yoga, Rajasthan High Court, and Umed Club, a social centre for the elite.
The final stop is the Umaid Bhawan Palace, one of the world's largest and most beautiful palaces built in the 19th century, showcasing the private residence of the former royal family and a museum with collections from the Maharajas.
Throughout the tour, enjoy a typical Indian snack at a traditional café in Jodhpur.
Conclude your private tour with a drop-off back at your hotel.

Also explore Masuriya Hill, a beloved getaway for locals featuring a statue of Maharana Pratap, a former Mewar king.
Later, stroll along Rotary Circle Road to the Jodhpur Science Park, an open-air educational centre with exhibits including dinosaur models.
