The most essential part of the Jodhpur local sightseeing tour, the Mehrangarh Fort was built by Rao Jodha in 1459. This fort qualifies as one of the largest forts in India. Located atop a 410 feet elevated hill, the fort is guarded by massive walls on all sides.
Jaswant Thada is Jodhpur’s very own marble marvel and you may also know it as the ‘Taj Mahal of Mewar’. Surrounded by lush green trees and balanced on the banks of Jaswant Lake, Jaswant Thada is a must-visit destination in our 1 day Jodhpur city tour. The commemoratives and domes are carved in intricate and traditional Rajasthani architectural styles.
A delightful combination of a regal past and a charming present, Jodhpur’s Umaid Bhawan Palace also serves as a luxury hotel which offers a taste of royal splendour to all its clientele.
Sardar Government Museum is a great way to peek into the royal traditions and lavish lifestyle of the Jodhpur royal families. This museum is located inside Umaid public gardens and was erected in 1909 and is a must visit with our one day Jodhpur local city tour by private car. The museum was built under the rule of Maharaja Umed Singh Ji, and the chief architecture was Henry Vaughan Lanchester.
The next spot in the Jodhpur local sightseeing package, the village of Mandore is located about 10 KM north of Jodhpur. It used to be the capital of Maharajas of Marwar but was later abandoned for security concerns regarding the Mehrangarh Fort.
The clock tower of Jodhpur is almost a hundred years old and was built by Maharaja Sardar Singh. It now serves as an important landmark of the old city. The tower is surrounded by the vivacious sounds, wonders and smells of Sardar Market.
