stare after every few steps. It can throw up some stunning picture. But isn’t
the blue city it feels a little conscious like a trying to live up to its sobriquet.
The old part of Jodhpur is much cleaner then the other cities of Rajasthan. Depending
on from where you are taking the tour, it may take approximately 1 hour and half
hour to 2 hours, but time may vary depending in your interest and physical strength.
Most interesting part of this tour began from the one of the ancient city gate of
Jodhpur which led you to one of most fascinating and interesting sites of city which
