The Experience
Before You Go
Start at Mehrangarh Early
Begin the tour at sunrise or early morning to avoid midday heat and catch the best light for photos.
Carry Refillable Water
Even with bottled water included, bring a reusable bottle to refill—Jodhpur is dry and dehydrating on foot.
Dress Modestly for Monuments
Wear a light scarf or shawl to cover shoulders in temples and palaces where modest dress is appreciated.
Haggle Respectfully in Markets
Bargaining is common at Sardar Market—start lower than your target price and keep exchanges friendly.

Conservation Note
High visitor numbers and arid conditions stress local resources—carry water wisely, avoid littering, and support local artisans to keep economic benefits in the community.
Jodhpur grew from the 15th-century foundation of Rao Jodha; Mehrangarh and the royal houses reflect Marwar’s layered history and princely patronage through the centuries.
