Rajasthan has several stunning places to offer, and after exploring the glorious cities of Jaipur and Jodhpur, I decided to explore the blue city of India-Jodhpur.

Be it the narrow bylanes or the flea markets, everything about Jodhpur is historic. And if you are planning to visit the Blue City Of India- Jodhpur soon, I have created an ultimate 3-day guide for you. So read on, and you can thank us later.

Here’s How You Can Cover Jodhpur In 3-Days
Before starting the day-wise guide, here’s something you should know, Jodhpur is divided into two parts- Old City and New City. And as travellers, it’s always better to stay in the old city since major tourists attractions, including Mehranghar fort, are within walking distance. New City has Mandore Gardens, Umaid Bhawan, and a few restaurants- besides that, everything is in the Old blue city.

Day 1 In Blue City
On day one, take it slow and cover places around your property. You can start the day by relishing some breakfast at Sam’s Art Cafe and start visiting the places for the day. Cover Jaswant Thada, Mehrangarh Fort, Navchokiya, and catch the sunset at Pachetia Hills on day one. All these places are in one area, and it barely takes 10-minutes to walk from one attraction to another. Start exploring by 10-11 AM, and after sunset, end the day at Gypsy Restaurant by savouring their authentic Thali.

Day 2 In Blue City
On day two, you can start by relishing some Samosa and Kachori at Shaahi Samosa for breakfast. Post that, visit Toorji Ka Jhalar first and then you can rent a rickshaw for an entire day to explore Umaid Bhawan Palace, Mandore Gardens, and other places. Start your day at Umaid Bhawan Palace, then make your way to Mandore Gardens, take a stop for lunch at Bhawani Dal Batti centre, and keep Clock tower in the old city as your last attraction for the day. For dinner, visit Raja Chicken Corner to relish authentic Jodhpuri Chicken.
Day 3
Keep the third and last day in Jodhpur for shopping and food hogging. Start your day with a Bishnoi Village tour at 7 AM. You’ll be back by Noon. From there, visit Sardar market and Tripolia market, shop for some authentic Jodhpuri souvenirs for yourself and your loved ones. For lunch, visit Arora Chaat Bhandar and end the lunch on a sweet note by savouring iconic Lassi and Jalebi at Shri Mishrilal Hotel.
If you are a slow traveller like me, you can cover the nooks and corners of Jodhpur in a week, but if you are in the blue city for a weekend, this itinerary is for you.
