TRAVEL ITINERARY

Day 01
Jodhpur Arrival

On Arrival, check in at Hotel. Later explore Jodhpur. Standard Check in time : 15:00hrs

Jodhpur: history revolves around the Rathore Clan. Rao Jodha, the chief of the Rathore clan, is credited with the origin of Jodhpur in India. He founded Jodhpur in 1459. The city is named after him only. It was previously known as Marwar. The following paragraphs will tell you more about the past of Jodhpur, Rajasthan. The Rathores were driven out of their original homeland, Kaunaj, by Afghans. They fled to Pali, near to the present day Jodhpur. Rathore Siahaji married the sister of a local prince. This helped the Rathores to establish and strengthen themselves in this region. In some time they ousted the Pratiharas of Mandore, just 9 km of today’s Jodhpur. Initially, Mandore served as their capital, but, by 1459, Rathores felt a need for a secure capital. This lead to the formation of Jodhpur, the Sun City, by Rao Jodha.

Mehrangarh Fort: was founded in 15th century by the Rathore Rajputs when they shifted their capital from nearby Mandore to Jodhpur. Mehrangarh appears to rise from bluff-coloured sandstone hill itself, so well built into the base that it is difficult to tell where the hill ends and the walls begin. It is approached by a series of seven gateways set at an angle so that armies could not charge them with any success. Pass the gates, the fort-palace takes one’s breath away . Across from huge courtyards are the set wings of palatial apartments that have been built over five centuries of bristling history.

Also visit, if time permits, the Jaswant Thada, located half way up the interminably long road that climbs onwards to the fort, is the traditional cremation ground of the rulers of Jodhpur. Taking pride of place amongst the ornamental gardens and chattris is the fabulous white marble memorial to Jaswant Singh II, built in 1899.

Day 02:
Surface Transfer to Jaisalmer

On Arrival, check in at Hotel/Camp. Overnight stay at Hotel/Camp in Jaisalmer

Day 03
Jaisalmer City tour

Jaisalmer: is a giant sandcastle with a town attached, an emblem of honour in a land of rough and tumble. The fort is a living monument to long-lost desert might, a Golden City of dreams that exceeds expectations of the most travel-sick tourist or hardened history buff. Rising high from Trikuta hill, 99 enormous bastions hide havelis of crumbling beauty, and former Raj retainers, who now raffishly run guesthouses or flog bedazzling mirrorwork and embroidery. Like a Hansel and Gretel wonderland, the enclosed palace is carved from the same near-edible golden sandstone.

After breakfast, return to Jaisalmer City, visit the abandoned haunting village of Kuldhera and take an enjoying camel ride at the golden sand dunes of the Sam by the sunset.

Tour of Jaisalmer includes, the Jaisalmer Fort built in 1156, which has 99 bastions around its circumference. Enjoy the panoramic view of the surroundings from the fort’s wall. Within the fort are a group of beautifully carved Jain Temples built between the 12th and the 15th Centuries. Patwa Haveli, which is the most elaborate and magnificent of all the havelies in Jaisalmer. The other havelies worth visiting are the Salim Haveli & Nathmal Haveli.

If time permits, sightseeing of various attractions of the town covering fort with its temples & palaces, the Havelis, the amazing maze of lanes and by lanes, Gadsisar tank, Bada Bagh and Vyas Chhattries. (80 meters above plains) & Jain Temples within the Fort, built in 12th to 15th century which are very worth watching.

Jaisalmer Fort: the golden fortress constructed by the renowned Rajput ruler Jaisal in 1156, is located at the majestic Trikuta hills. It is also known as Sonar Kila. Its historical importance stands with the many battles fought in this spectacular Fort. The fort was the major protective cover for the Rajput Kings from the attacks of foreign invaders. The specialty is that still approximately 5000 people are living inside.
