I had an excellent tour of Jodhpur, starting with pickup from the airport by Ray. We first went to the Mehranghan fort, and had a very comprehensive tour. We visited all rooms of the museum, and had several viewpoints. There was no rushing at any moment. This fort is so far the best I have seen in India, on par with Amer fort in Jaipur. Then we went to Jaswant Tada, which is an amazing marble memorial, definitely a first rate sight. Then we went to the Umaid Bhavan palace, a more modern building from the early 20th century, but grandiose in scale. The tour finished with a walk in the old center of Jodhpur, from the clocktower to the step well. They then dropped me at the hotel, and I also got excellent suggestions for dinner at a rooftop restaurant and where to find the best blue houses for a walk through the blue city. I was extremely happy with this tour, you really get all the important sights of Jodhpur in one (long) go, at your own pace. Highly recommended.
