Jodhpur was to be a short stop en-route to Jaisalmer. We had about 5 hrs to absorb and do as much as possible. It was hot in Jodhpur. The weather there is so hot, that locals resorted to painting their homes and buildings blue to cool the city. We made our way to Sardar Market after dinner. Didn't shop much, walked around, and made our way to the gargantuan fort that sits atop a hill.
Sardar Market Gate
What's Frau looking at?
One for the camera
The Fort clearly seen from the market square

Whyyyyy are there so manyyyyy beautifulll banglessssss... *FAINTZ*
Lilo & Stitch
Mehrangarh Fort was closed for the day. boooo. So we went as high up as we could, took pictures, and made our way back down. Be advised that you should NOT climb up to the fort with your full combat load. It is HOT, steps are slippery, and there are vehicles speeding up and down the narrow streets. Do not try this at Jodhpur.
Why? Not happy ah?
'Chiong sua' aka Rush the Mountain.
Beautiful Blue Jodhpur
WHAT IS FRAU LOOKING AT???
Fort walls are damn steep la.
Meet-the-people session
There is really nothing much at Jodhpur in my opinion. Places of significance would be the Sardar Market, the Mehrangarh Fort, and some other palaces that were nearby. Otherwise, I would agree with Jodhpur being called the Gateway of Thar, as it is, an oven set to medium. It definitely set the stage for the heat in Jaisalmer. 5 hours just passed by like that. Nothing much done, and nothing much seen. Spent the rest of the time chilling at a rooftop cafe.
Jodhpur conquered!
Passenger List
So off we go to the train station an hour before midnight. We got ourselves 5 tickets on the sleeper class. For Boon, Jam and Frau, this will be their virgin ride in the sleeper class. Wish them luck!
