Luxury holidays in Jodhpur
Beneath this imposing presence wind the narrow, crooked streets of Jodhpur's charming old town, which weave past crumbling havelis (Maharaja's mansions), lively markets, elaborate temples and modernist Brahmin-blue houses that shimmer in the sunshine. Today the city spreads far beyond the reach of the Clock Tower and the ancient town's thick stone walls, but it's within this crowded space that Jodhpur's magic lies.
When to go
Jodhpur is best enjoyed during the cooler months, from mid-October to March, when the days are sunny and temperatures reach a maximum of 27°C. From April onwards, temperatures soar to a mind-boggling 45°C and beyond. July and August bring the welcome monsoon rains.
