Beautiful fort. It definitely takes minimum 2hrs to see the place.! One of the best places to take insta worthy pictures. Folk song artists, shopping points and restaurant/cafe all available inside the fort. Need to wear masks.

Beautiful well preserved. One of the richest fort in India. You can enjoy the evening by booking dinner and enjoy the night view at the top of the palace. You can book a tour guide if you are interested and love history. Worth the money. Towards the end of the tour, there is a shop you can buy merchandise and other collectibles and gifting item and memento.

Awesome place. Nice and well maintained fort to see.. the city view is really good... all the ancient things preserved well... must see one time... take lift to top floor which charge 50 but it's worth...

An iconic historical site that is a that is a must visit for any tourist. The place is well preserved and there are helpful security guards all over the place. The places also maintain clean and have clear instructions for visitors. Also there is a shop within the fort with a wide range of gifts and memorabilia. The sunsets are really awesome and also there a folk singers who always give a remarkable experience for tourists. The place is a must visit for history lovers and photographers.

Very beautiful and well maintained fort. I would recommend you to take a guide when you visit this fort. It will make your visit interesting and you will get to learn more about the history. 1. You can go on top of fort by lift as well. You will be charged 50 rs per person 2. Fort ticket is 300 rs 3. Guide will cost 500 for group of 4-5 people.

What an incredible experience at Mehrangarh Fort! It's seriously well taken care of, kudos to the authorities for preserving it so well. And I totally appreciate the no outside food rule – keeps the place super clean. Walking around, you can just feel the weight of all that history. And yeah, there are a couple of cafes inside, but they can be a bit pricey. Still, the views and vibe make it worth it. The entry fee is reasonable, ₹200/- for Indian adults, and getting a guide is worth it for sure. They charge in group of 4. Audio guides are also available if you want to go with it. Sure, the initial climb is a bit steep, but they've got handrails to help out. Paid parking is available at the designated parking space.

Well I liked this place with lovely places,pics and history related things. Height is lovely airy in such summer time too. Museum is good has shopping options too restaurant in house as well on the way of your tour. And yes not to forget musicians are awesome . Must visit.

It's a beautiful fort. To explore and understand the fort, you'd better pick a guide. It will definitely take 2 hours to see and understand the history of the fort. On the way, you will see an artist playing folk songs. You can either walk or use a lift by paying an extra amount. You will also see a lot of Swifts humming on your way in.

Beautiful fort. Public toilets inside are clean and plenty. The administration is good and disciplined. If you have mobility issues then take a ticket for using lift too. Else, you may have to climb 3 to 4 storeys. The fort is beautiful and so is the surrounding view. Parking is around 300 metres from the actual entrance. But is plenty. Autos are available from parking space to entrance. You can take the vehicle till the entrance of the fort, drop the passengers and then take it back to the parking space 300 metres away.

Loved the trip to fort. Breathtaking views all around. From Jodhpur blue city to well used in the Dark knight movie. We hired a guide and he gave us superb overview of history of the fort. Lots of great places to click pictures, truly feels royal up here. They have some drink and food shops up there which are much required for Jodhpur heat. Its worth taking an elevator on the way up and walk your way down. Given right weather one can easily spend few hours here.

A must must must visit place. It’s astonishingly beautiful 😻 do take a guide, the guide provides good history about the fort. There is one restaurant inside the fort, it has amazing food. The guides are government certified. They take 400 rupees charges. I would visit again.

Beautiful fort and very well maintained. It has a lift as well to take you directly to the top from where you can walk around seeing each element. The craftsmanship is absolutely out of this world and the minute stone carving is something that will make you wonder how on earth these were even achievable in that era. Every wall has a story so it is highly recommended to have a guide with you to explain each detail. The pictures don't do justice,, you really have to experience it

Awesome.! Must visit 😊 Beautiful construction and well maintain. You might need an hour and half to fully cover it. Guides are available they have chart board at entrance and the Fort visiting fees are 200₹/person. Lift are provided but I think there is no need to wait in line for (10-30min), just go by waking it will take 10min or less to reach top

Wow!! An excellent fort to visit. Being in private hands, the fort is well maintained and clean. The architecture is mind boggling and worth a visit. We availed of the guide services and the guide assigned to us - Chotu Singh- was very decent, well mannered and knowledgeable. You can spend hours photographing beautiful facets of the fort. There folk singers and musicians at various points and they are very very talented. The shoes and other handicrafts sold are worth buying. Overall excellent place to visit.

One of the best place to visit while on trip to jodhpur. Try to go avoid in the afternoon it is too hot in the summer, go early morning or in the evening. From the fort they also provide zip-lining service it you have time, you should explore that too.

I don't think one stands anywhere to rate any marvel like this. It is a great masterpiece of its time and the present additions and restorations have done quite a justice to its grandeur. For me this is the most well curated fort i have ever been to. The overall aesthetics, tour sequence, cafe, museum everything is very well integrated and cohesive.

Heritage that is well preserved...love the folk singers near the entrance. Place showcases the well-preserved paintings...with all details. It was a wonderful experience to visit...I bought many items from museum shop

This is one of the most beautiful and worth visiting, must visit Fort, if you enjoy visiting Forts. Tips to remember: 1. Carry your own water bottle and umbrella. 2. I would suggest best time to visit is Octiber- January. 3. Wear comfortable footwear, seriously people do not think you can walk this place without proper footwear. 4. Keep a full day alloted to this Fort, if you really want to enjoy your visit. 5. DO NOT MISS THAT SUNSET, you will be thankful to yourself that you caught it, it has one of the most beautiful shadows and light play at sunset. I hope you enjoy this place too. Really large area to cover and just beautiful 😍

Very well maintained place. There is a museum and 3 to 4 temples inside. Around an hour in this place, the staff are very polite and helpful. The ticket costs around 200 rupees but worth the visit. The fort opens at around 9 am. We were pleasantly surprised by the music as well in this place (There is a person outside with an instrument and there is band musicians as well to entertain the guests).

We came to see the fort in the early morning, so no many people around, but as we were going back we saw a lot of people coming in, mainly school visits. The fort took 400y to be built and it has more than 500y. It was built from the stones it sits on. Unless you are mobility challenged I don’t think you’ll need the lift. It was just 3 flights of stairs, or maybe I missed something 😅 The building is very well preserved and some rooms are different from what you would expect.

The fort has magnificent history and has many floors. For the convenience of tourists a lift has been installed which is paid. It will take you to the top most floor and then you can come down while observing things Very well maintained place. There is a museum and 3 to 4 temples inside. Around an hour in this place, the staff are very polite and helpful. The ticket costs around 200 rupees but worth the visit. The fort opens at around 9 am. We were pleasantly surprised by the music as well in this place. Good to go 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Fort is well maintained. Everything good. Govt taking good care of historical places. Out side food items not allowed and this is good service. Place so clean and historical. I enjoyed place. Fee 200/- per person Indian adult. It's approx 2-3 hour visit.

Must visit to know our pride, Great historical monument. There is an elevator (lift) for public to reach directly to the main part of fort. Must bring the ticket from front desk. There is a concession for Defence personnel for entrance fees. Great place to know our ancestors history. Mehrangarh is proud of our nation and also noted in UNESCO

It's a magnificent fort with spectacular details. Definitely a must visit. Don't forget to wear comfortable footwear as you will have to walk a lot to explore the fort. Would recommend a good 2-3 hours at least to see this place. Have a good time! Also visit Jaswant Thada temple which is very nearby to this fort. The view will keep you spellbound 😍

The fort closes in the evening at 5pm and opens in the morning. It's a great tourist place to visit, I visited in the month of January at 3pm it isn't that cold at almost 400 feet above ground level. If you are a foreigner there is a counter at the entrance where you can exchange dollars with Indian rupees. The fort was built in 1459 by the King Jodha. It's one of the largest forts in India. The place is rich with 500 years of history in India. You may need 3 hours to visit the entire place with some time spent clicking photographs. There is a lift that you can use to reach the top of the fort. You can also choose to walk if you want. The price of lift is 50 rupees up and down. The ticket entrance to this place for adults is 200 rupees per head. I went with my dad and mom. It cost us 750 rupees for entry tickets plus lift usage. The security people at the fort are very friendly. They will guide you if you are lost.

The Fort in Jodhpur is a true architectural marvel and an absolute must-visit for all travelers exploring Rajasthan. This imposing fortress stands majestically above the blue city, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The history and cultural significance of this fort are fascinating. It's incredible to see how the architects and builders of centuries past created such an impressive structure that remains remarkably well-preserved to this day. The various courtyards, palaces, and temples within the fort are rich in history and artistry. The opulent chambers and intricate carvings are a feast for the senses. One can spend hours exploring the different rooms and discovering the stories concealed within the walls. Another highlight is the view of the city of Jodhpur itself. The vibrant blue houses contrast beautifully with the desert landscape, providing a captivating backdrop for photographers. The conservation and upkeep of the fort are commendable, and visitors can immerse themselves in the history and culture of Rajasthan up close. The Fort in Jodhpur is a place that should not be missed when exploring this captivating region of India.

It's a major fort in the history of jodhpur. However, there should be clear instructions right at the entrance regrading tickets. There is one room selling entry tickets for Rs 600/-, which is less crowded and 15 or tourist guides waiting to pounce on you point you to that office; I think this is meant for non-Indian citizens, but cleverly, it doesn't say so. However there's another less conspicuous room right next to the entrance which is usually crowded and you can't read the signs, I went there, ignoring the touts, and discovered that it says 'General' and the price of entry tickets is Rs. 200/-. I am sure the management is well aware of this, but let things be as they are for whatever reasons!

Main Attraction of Fort is Museum and few artists who play instruments and sing folk songs. Whole Fort can be covered in 2 hours with plenty of photographs. Voice Guide facility is also available for tourists with multiple languages. Better to visit the place early in the morning as it is less crowded and convenient.

One of the best place to visit in jodhpur city. a very tradition of painting can be seen there. Completely authentic and original hand made paintings are exibited and are on purchase. The owner Mr Chauhan is very nice regarding his customers. One can have the best hospitality there. Overall the experience was too good.

This art gallery have superb collection.we can find art on paper ,on canvas and art and painting is like alive everything. I ilke Rajasthani culture type art here. Owner is very polite man and never treat us like a customer.he treat like as friend.

Just 1km from Mehrangardh Fort. It’s located the best Gallery Art and Painting in Jodhpur. Hosted by Bunty and his lovely family, I was invited to contemplate his beautiful paintings and drawings of all kinds. I could enjoy paintings of Indian Gods, Kings, Nature and Costumes. With a very accesible price, he offers here the same painting that are sold inside the Fort Museum but made from his own hand. I could also enjoy a delicious meal with him and his young son, sharing and talking about his beautiful culture and his amazing job.

This was my first visit to Rajasthan. Quite unusually my driver Mr sureshji insisted on visiting Mr. Chauhans art gallery. With my initial doubts I entered the gallery just for my kid who is learning drawing quite seriously. To my surprise the variety of Rajasthani contemprary art collection was very good putting my doubts out of the window. Kudos to Mr Chauhan & team for keeping the art alive. There were some exquisite pieces of art. Anyone visiting Rajasthan/Jodhpur should find time to visit this treasure house and preferably own some pieces of this unique art.

I was in jodhpur I visited in mehragdh fort here in fort I loved miniature painting on the way I passed chouhan art shop which is 1km from fort it's amazing place super collection very nice welcome it brought two painting in 3000 rupees which is very good price.

Had a very good experience of visiting the Art Gallery, prices of the painting were very reasonable for the work and effort put into it , extremly nice and courteous people having a lot of patience to show their work , must visit place on the trip

Beautiful art gallery. Today i visit with my friend and brought 2 paintings. Reseanabol prices must visit this painting shop.

We spent a nice time enjoying the beautiful artworks. Vijay was a really good storyteller and explained very well the techniques and history of indian miniatures. You definitively must have a look there!

Such a beautiful art school! We stayed for 4 hours learning how to paint in the traditional way - VJ was very knowledgeable and patient with us, he even brought us chai and samosas! We had a fantastic time and all ended up leaving with some gorgeous art work - even if you’re not interested in painting yourself there are tons of beautiful pieces to sift through! Thank you VJ, I would love to come back and learn more techniques :):)

Beautiful art work by students and professors. Painted on leaves, ancient paper and synthetic ivory among others. A must visit if you are in Jodhpur. The paintings make for great gifts and souvenirs !

We had a great few hours here learning how to do the miniature paintings. Our teacher was very patient and helpful, and we had really interesting conversations about life and culture in India too. 1000 rupees pp. Great experience :)

This has to be a stop for any tourist. They keep the culture of traditional Rajasthani paintings alive. One can either learn how to paint in the style (for free), buy some artwork done by artisans of the school, or even just admire the skill and dexterity that envelops each painting. Vijay is the school master and is also a great conversationalist.

I had an amazing art class here, so helpful and kind, great value for money too, I was paining for over three hours and got to keep the paintibg at the end for only 1000 rupies. Can not recommend it enough

I had a wonderful time today painting with Vijay. I loved learning different techniques and spending time creating my own piece to take home. Highly recommend.

Vijay is a guru of this style of painting. We went to 11 a.m. painting session and enjoyed a lot. It usually takes 2-3 hrs. We could avoid strong sunshine at the hottest time of day. He is a very kind teacher, even a beginner can try Indian fine line painting. I recommend this place to a person who wants some cultural experience in Jodhpur.

We highly recommend a morning here as part of a trip to Jodhpur! We came for the 11am art class, and had guidance from Vijay, the master, for 2-3hours. We left with a lovely painting each, having enjoyed chats, chai and creativity, and hope to return for more.

I highly recommend Umaid Heritage Art School for anyone interested in art or looking to share a creative experience. We stumbled upon the school and had a delightful conversation with Vijay, so we decided to return the next day for a miniature painting workshop. We spent hours with Vijay, learning miniature painting techniques while exchanging captivating stories about art, culture, and life. Vijay's exceptional skills as an artist, combined with his teaching ability and storytelling talent, made the experience both educational and enjoyable. As a result, we left with our own miniature creations and a newfound appreciation for art. Our visit to Umaid Heritage Art School was undeniably a highlight of our stay in Jodhpur. Don't miss the opportunity to explore your artistic side and learn from the talented Vijay.

We’ve been in this school for 3h lesson and it was such a good experience !! I think 3h was not enough for me but I really loved it and We loved this athmosphere ! Thank you so much.

A very Nice experience with Viljay the Lentil man. He is the super hero of Miniature painting. Great hospitality from him and his son. If you come to Jodhpur you have to visit his school. It's an essential for your trip and you can Trust him. He also give me a gift and I appreciate Best regards my friend Jonathan

Amazing experience, even coming from a non art lover. Super friendly and patient hosts. The kids felt very comfortable with them. Learnt a lot about the local art history and products. 4 hours there and the kids (9 and 11) didn’t want to leave. Could have spent hours more. Best experience of Jodhpur.

Seems like a decent guy but towards the end he referred me to a scam textile shop, Maharani. He also sold me saffron at an inflated price, according to my guesthouse. Dishonest and deeply disappointed. Who knows if his art is legitimate, but don’t let him sell you any products from any other stores.

A beautiful and professional place, with excellent art works and an enjoyable workshop. I had a 3 hour lesson of miniature painting with Tinku. I learned a lot and had a great time!

Super nice place with nicer people. Good art! Fair prices. Extremely knowledgeable Recommend!

The most under rated place in Jodhpur. It's beautiful and has different plants which are available. The narrow passages which are called elephant passages are quite beautiful. There are guides available who can walk through all the area. It's quite a long Trek which can take from 4-5 hours if you want to visit the full area. The guides are available on demand and you should visit in the morning. There are early entries around 8am in the morning along with a guide. They can show you multiple places where you can watch different birds. The sounds they make in the early morning are very good. Spend a half day over here and you won't regret it at all..!

The Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park in Jodhpur is a stunning initiative to conserve and showcase the natural desert ecosystem of the region. It's known for its unique rock formations, indigenous plant species, and breathtaking views of the Mehrangarh Fort. It's a must-visit for nature lovers and anyone interested in the desert landscape. There are hiking trails available in the Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park. These trails offer visitors the opportunity to explore the park's rugged terrain, observe its diverse flora and fauna, and enjoy the scenic beauty of the desert landscape.

Don't miss this place. You need enough time to explore the whole park. I prefer you to reach here at 4.30 so that you can witness beautiful sunset from the hills and able to capture good photos of fort. They will provide you a map of the jodhpur ,its really cool and can be keep with you. Ticket can also be used as a bookmark.

Nice place to visit. We came early morning for a guided walk tour with Blue City Walks. There were no other people and it was very tranquil to walk along the elephant canal until the Padamsar Talab. I recommend to visit before the sun is high, otherwise it might get too hot. There are many steps along the way, so it's not wheelchair friendly. The pathways are quite clear of shrubs, however, especially if you're going in the afternoon expect some bugs it is part of the nature.

Hello! I visited this place with my friends on weekend. The place is really beautiful and worth the visit. But keep in mind the weather factor as it is outdoor activity. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes for comfort. If visiting in summer, try to reach at 7AM sharp to avoid heat stroke and sunlight, and if in winters then accordingly 8-9AM. Though the place is exploring the nature, then why the ticket is above ₹100?

If you're visiting Mehrangarh you should also visit here.Various types of desert rocks and plants , shrubs can be seen here.Its an adventurous trek. Recommended for young people who are enthusiastic about trails.Dont forget to carry water bottle or purchase from the entry as inside there is no source of water . Eatables are allowed but please don't litter the place.A map is provided which guides us the various paths of the desert.If you are lost then you can contact them on the number provided in the map guide. Try to wear shoes 👟 as it's risky to wear sandals/chappals and trek.Must visit 👌

Extremely close to Mehrangarh Fort, this is one place that you cannot afford to miss when you are visiting Jodhpur. Explore nature and wildlife in a completely different light when you visit this wonderful park. You will be stunned to see such greenery in the midst of a place that's known as a desert. Be on a lookout for some birds and animals that you can spot! Taking the guide to this place is a must and if possible, visit either early in the evening or during the second half of the day.

My 14yo suggested we add this to our Jodhpur itnry and what a find it is! The naturalists that guide you are super knowledgeable and patient. It was so nice exploring the local flora and fauna. We even saw a herd of wild boar cross us on the yellow trail. We had Vikram as the naturalist guiding us on the yellow trail and he was amazing This little oasis is run by the same Trust that operates the Fort and is beautifully presented. I didn't quite expect to see so much, but we even encountered wild boar and a mongoose, saw plenty of interesting birds and loads of butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies. A little pond in the red trail was full of skittering frogs. It was hot but there was plenty of shade to be had especially along the Yellow trail. Wonderful views of the Fort and glimpses of the blue City beyond. Good information along the trails and I especially liked the display and explanation of different soils and rocks in the Rajasthan desert areas and how they affect plant growth. And all for Rs 100. Highly recommended (as are a hat, sunblock, plenty of water and good shoes).

Got to know about this place via google and is one of the best experiences that everyone visiting Jodhpur should go to. The park has various trails. I suggest you to take the blue trail for which you'll have to contact a day prior as a guide takes you around. You won't have access to the trail otherwise. The guide charges are 200 for a group and 100rs per person entry. I suggest you go here during sunrise or sunset for the best views of Mehrangarh along with Jaswant Thada. Other trails can be explored by your own and should take you an hour

Fantastic natural park with great interpretation material and signages. Must see for jodhpur visit. Very incredible flora fauna biodiversity. They give a good trails map to follow . Carry your water bottle and sun shades and sun lotion for the non early morning trips . Early morning or later evening is nicer to go. Toilets facilities are there at the entrance. Needless to say and just to mention, it's not a wheelchair friendly environment due to the hard rocky terrain. Ticket was 100 RS per person (2023) .

A place of peace and calm away from the craziness of the old town. Maintained very well. I didn't find a single piece of plastic in my walk there. Not easy to find a place like this in India. The best kept secret is a guided walk by naturalist Harsh. His knowledge was commendable and certainly the highlight of the Rajasthan trip. If you love nature this is the place to be.

A wonderful place amidst the desert. Mr. Harsh was our guide. He is passionate about his work & knowledgeable. He left no stones unturned to make us satisfied.

Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park located near the Mehrangarh Fort contains distinctive volcanic rock and sandstone formations. Here you can witness the attempt of architectural and ecological restoration. The park was established in 2006 and public access was granted in February 2011. It houses Visitors Centre, a plant nursery and a small cafe. Since, I visited with family (having a 6 years kid) the ticket seller advised as to choose Yellow trails among the available four trails (yellow, green, red, and blue trails). The trails of around 1km long were well-marked with colored arrows and perfect for hiking and learning about the desert‘s characteristics and geology which may take around 4-5 hours to cover the entire area. The ticket seller was very facilitative who explained us all the different sections and trails providing a useful map. The Blue trail can not be accessed without guide and hence requires to contact them one day before your visit. The elephant passages were quite beautiful. It showcases incredible flora fauna biodiversity. It is a museum of plants in the rocky deserts of Marwar. A little pond was also picturesque where you can feel relaxed. I found it as the most under rated place in Jodhpur but I recommend all the travelers to add this place to your itinerary. Precautions: 1. Visit early in the morning. In summer: around 7AM and in winter: around 8-9AM. 2. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes 3. Carry water bottle & some snacks 4. Use sunscreen cream/lotion for the non early morning trips. Guide fee: Rs. 200 for a group Entry fee: Rs. 100 per person

This park is stunning, an oasis of peace within a desert landscape, complemented by a lovely view of the fort. The place is also very clean and there is no crowd. We also paid an extra for a guide to do the blue trail as it boasts a nice view of the cenotaphs

Nice walking trial where you can experience the desert life.There are different coloured trials. It is impossible to cover the entire park as it is very huge. Try not to go in the afternoon as it will be very hot. Should not experiment inside the park as there is a chance of you getting lost. So follow the path & carry water with you.

Such an amazing nature park. I don't understand why it's not on the itinerary of every visitor to Jodhpur, as you can easily combine a visit to the park with visiting the fort and the royal cenotaphs at Jaswant Thada. The trails are beautifully signposted and the information boards in English and Hindi are really well researched and genuinely interesting. There is also a small exhibition about various natural history topics at the visitor centre, again I was so pleasantly surprised by how interesting it was. Even if you have no interest in learning about nature and rocks, it's worth visiting just for the picturesque views of the fort and the tranquility.

It is decent place. We can see Mehrangarh fort from here. Ropeway people nearby try here. 2-3 ways to explore the rock park. Various types of stone placed here nothing fascinating. It takes 1 hour to roam here. If you have extra time in hand visit here else don't waste time. Ticket is costly.

It's very easy to find, and a must to visit on your way to the fort. The entrance fee ₹30 Indian nationals ₹50 Foreigners There are guides available in the front, but it's such a small place that ypu may read about it before or while visiting. The constructions and the garden is extremely well kept, couldn't see a single piece of trash. It also has great views of the fort and the city. Stop for an hour or so, it's worth it

Beautiful place on the way to Mehrangarh Fort. A short walk in, the entrance fee is Rs30 for Indian nationals, and Rs50 for Foreign nationals. The architecture is inspiring. Very well maintained garden. Nice water body and lush green banks on one end. Very peaceful environment, great panoramic view of Jodhpur City. Mehrangarh Fort and surprisingly, Umaid Bhawan as well! Special props for the live instrumental music that made the place even better

Sacred rituals. Last rights. Hindu traditions. Kings and Rajputs. Looks best around sunset. Crowded. Rs 50 entry. Good parking. Great views of the fort in backdrop. Marvelous architecture. Must spend an hour.

Jaswant Thada was built by Maharaja Sardar Singh of Jodhpur State in 1899 in memory of his father, Maharaja Jaswant Singh ll and serves as the cremation ground for the royal Rajput family of Marwar. It is known as the Taj Mahal of Jodhpur as it is also made up of white marble. It is near Meherangarh Fort and is a silent and peaceful place.

As compared to other cities in Rajasthan, Jodhpur has nothing to offer except Meherangarh Fort and Jaswant thada. This is only place after Meherangarh fort that we enjoyed in blue city Jodhpur. Beautiful architecture with white stone. Also called Taj Mahal of Rajasthan due to little similarities. You can visit the place same day when you are covering Meherangarh. Walking distance from fort. Very well maintained and peaceful place. Has very nice history. Check our YouTube channel for detail information.

A beautiful historical monument. The entry fees is reasonable. This place has been well maintained. There are clean toilet facilities as well as cold drinking water. It's a beautiful and peaceful place

Beautiful art , tripod is not allowed here so use camera without tripod , entry fee is 50 that's good and food isn't available around here.

Serene beautiful place must visit when in Jodhpur. Guide needed to know the complete information to enjoy the serenity and importance of the place. Called the Taj Mahal of Jodhpur for 2 reasons, one made of same marble as the original Taj of Agra and built by the queen's in memory of the King after his death!! Just as the King built the original Taj Mahal in memory of the queen. Beautiful scenic view of the whole city..the Blue city Jodhpur. Very close to the Mehrangarh Fort. A artificial pond outside makes the place beautiful and enchanting. The architectural marvel has photos of all the ruler kings inside it. Ticket prices at INR 40 per person and guide charges INR 200.

Very nice,A place you should definitely visit. It's near the Mehrangarh Fort. So, you can first visit this place and then visit the fort. The fort is huge, hence, it will take time. There is a reservation just outside the place. Many mobile networks don't work there. Hence, keep cash handy. For Photo lovers, you can have the background as a lake, garden, monument or the city.

Jaswant Thada is a beautiful cenotaph located in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India. It's a stunning architectural marvel made of white marble, built in memory of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. It's known for its intricate carvings and serene surroundings, making it a popular tourist attraction. The surroundings of Jaswant Thada are indeed picturesque. It's situated amidst lush green gardens and offers panoramic views of city of Jodhpur. The white marble of the monument contrasts beautifully with the blue sky, creating stunning photo opportunities.

A nice historic place, lovely architecture made of white stone. It has a small lake where you can find ducks diving in water. Well maintained and location is so nice surrounded by rocky hills. Must visit place in jodhpur.
