Jodhpur Travel Guide - Jodhpur is mainly known for its impressive Meherangarh Fort. Located at the top of the hill and reached by quite a climb, it offers some excellent views of the old and new city.

The fort itself, with its enormous gateways, palaces and museums, easily take up one of your days in Jodhpur. Jodhpur is a nice city. It is not as big as Jaipur and not as small as Jaisalmer.

The old city offers winding streets with colourful street markets and blue houses (those belonging to the Brahmins) alternated with white houses.

Tours to Jodhpur - Jodhpur is a historic city and the origin dates to the year 1459 AD when it was founded by Rao Jodha, the Rajput chieftan of the Rathores. The Rathore kingdom was also known as the Marwar and was the largest in Rajputana.

The city was built as the new capital of the state of Marwar (now Rajasthan) to replace the ancient capital Mandore, the ruins of which can be seen near what is now the Mandore Gardens.

The people of Jodhpur and surrounding areas are hence also commonly called as Marwaris.

Jodhpur is also known as the Blue City, an apt name as most houses in the old city are shades of blue.

Tours to Jodhpur - This is particularly noticeable on the north side of the town, known as Brahmpuri for the many Brahmins that live there.

The forts and palaces, temples and havelis, culture and tradition, spices and fabrics, colour and texture, a booming handicrafts industry, all add up to make this historic city worth a visit.
