Jodhpur ‘ideal’ for travellers

The Indian city of Jodhpur could be an ideal destination for those looking to discover the country.According to the Telegraph, the popular tourist destination is best visited between September and April as temperatures are at their most pleasant. This is also the time when the city’s social scene is in full swing, especially as the glamorous polo season begins in December.

Visitors should factor in a trip to the Mehrangarh Fort, which is located on a 400ft cliff and is one of India’s key monuments, which has been well-looked after. As well as a museum, there is also a cafe and a gift shop.

Jodhpur is also referred to as The Sun City and was founded by a chief of the Rathore clan in 1459.

In terms of accommodation, those benefiting from cheap flights to India may have a bit extra to spend on one of the city’s most luxurious hotels. The Umaid Bhawan Palace is described as “sumptuous” and offers guests a heated underground pool, a spa and a very tempting breakfast.

The easiest way to fly to Jodhpur is direct to Delhi or alternative flights to Mumbai can also be an option for British travellers.
