Events in Jodhpur, the Blue City
Jodhpur is Rajasthan on a grand scale. Mehrangarh Fort towers over the blue-washed old city, and palace hotels and desert-edge resorts give weddings and corporate evenings a cinematic backdrop.
Getting there
- By air: Jodhpur Airport (JDH), a short drive from the city centre, with flights from Delhi, Mumbai and other cities.
- By rail: Jodhpur Junction has direct trains to Delhi, Jaipur, Mumbai and Ahmedabad.
- By road: About 335 km from Jaipur (around five to six hours) and 250 km from Udaipur.
Rajasthan's second-largest city and a gateway to the Thar desert, Jodhpur is home to some of the state's most impressive heritage architecture — from Mehrangarh Fort to Umaid Bhawan Palace, part of which is still a royal residence.
It suits weddings that want grandeur, and corporate groups looking for a dramatic, less crowded alternative to Jaipur and Udaipur, with desert experiences within easy reach.
Best time of year
October to March. Summer is extremely hot, and winter nights on the desert edge can be chilly — plan heaters and shawls for outdoor evenings.
