Welcome to Jodhpur
The Blue City spreads out below Mehrangarh Fort in shades of indigo and cobalt, and exploring it on foot is one of India's most memorable urban experiences. Ancient havelis, spice markets and narrow lanes reward slow, curious wandering. Resorts in Jodhpur often occupy heritage properties, some within converted palaces or manor houses, connecting you directly to the architecture and history that make the city worth the journey.

When to visit Jodhpur
High and low season in Jodhpur
October through February is the most popular time to visit Jodhpur. The weather is dry and comfortable, making it easy to explore the fort, palaces, and the famous blue-painted lanes of the old city. Demand is high during this window, so booking accommodation in advance gives you more options and better rates.
Summer brings intense heat to Jodhpur, and the monsoon season follows from around July through September. Visitor numbers drop significantly during both periods, and you'll find lower prices and more availability. The trade-off is that the heat can make outdoor sightseeing uncomfortable, and heavy rains during monsoon can affect travel plans.
The Rajasthan International Folk Festival, held annually at Mehrangarh Fort, is one of the best-known events associated with Jodhpur, typically taking place in October. Beyond that, Rajasthan's festival calendar is active year-round, and local tourism offices or your accommodation can point you toward events happening during your visit.
