The winding narrow maze
of bazaars offer an abundance of traditional and exotic sights of craftsmen
at work. Visit the Meharangarh Fort where the museum section has a valuable
collection of royal palanquins, elephant 'howdahs', miniature paintings
and hunting tents. Within 10 km radius around Jodhpur, are the beautiful
Mandore Gardens and the lakeside picnic spots at Balsamand, Takhatsagar
and Kailana. Osian with its Jain and Brahma temples is only 65 kms away.
Herds of black buck and chinkara can be spotted on a drive to Sadarsamand,
the Maharaja's private lakeside residence. 90 kms away is the Welcomgroup
Khimsar fort at Khimsar, part of which dates back to the 14th century. Or
just go on a Village Safari around the villages 
and
the countryside to partake in the traditional welcome ceremony, besides
many other unique experiences.
Back at the Palace after a day's
sight-seeing you may just have a glimpse of Maharaja Gaj Singh strolling
around the gardens with the dogs. Or if you are really lucky to be in
Jodhpur during one of festivals for which Rajasthan is renowned, you are
most welcome to join in the celebrations hosted by him for the citizens of
Jodhpur. A royal residence, full of living pageantry! Could you have asked
for more!!
