Hey Guys,
We welcome you to yet backpacking trip powered by TRIPVER- Travel Community. Witness the vividness and charm of one of the oldest existing cities of our country.
Jodhpur is the second largest city in the state of Rajasthan and is called the “sun city” because it has fantastic weather year round. Jodhpur is very much so a place of tradition. The people and the home decor are all bright, vivid colors. Almost like time travel, the city of Jodhpur comes alive with breathtaking views of the imposing fort in the backdrop of homely city lights.
Also known as Blue City, Jodhpur has lot more to offer than centuries old Fort. The hustle and bustle of old city, colorful bazaars and by-lanes, amazing Rajasthani food and stories that date back to 15 century.
While planning to visit these destinations here are a few things that you must keep in mind before setting out on the journey. For your ease and to facilitate your personal planning for the trip we have made few pointers which may help you before coming on board for the trip.
Weather & Clothing
-The temperatures during the day are set to soar higher. To keep yourself comfortable, make sure you have loose fitting clothes with you that allow your skin to breathe. Carry flips flops or open sandals to keep your feet cool and relaxed. Wear full sleeved clothes, shirt or tops, to cover your hands and arms and protect them from sunburn.
-Nights at times turns very cold so make sure you carry a stole/jacket or shawl to cover yourself.
-For the night journey on the bus, it’s strongly recommended that you carry heavy jackets/ stoles to keep yourself warm during the journey. The bus/tempo will have no provision for individual blankets for travelers.
-Do not forget to carry sunblock lotions and water bottles with you when stepping outdoors.
Stay Safe
-Just a heads up, be cautious while dealing with other vendors at any destinations.
-If you want to hire local travel guide, do not go with him alone. If you are a solo female tourist, safety is more important than price.
Shopping:
Street Shopping is about colorful trinkets, leather goods, spices and even royal jewelry; which makes it one of the best things to do in Rajasthan. The state has made the world go gaga over its artistry, along with its splendid monuments that speak of a legendary past. In case you are going street shopping ensure that you bargain 30 to 40% of the price 😉
We always recommend our travelers to carry a light rucksack and a simple backpack with good trekking shoes with a solid grip to be hassle free during the trip.
The itinerary is made keeping in mind the basic structure for your visit and we try our best to meet the timelines. As per our past experiences, there may be a possibility there may be a shift in timings. This may be due to heavy traffic, weather conditions, stamina levels of the travelers or simply because you want to spend the night watching stars and wake up easy at the next day and leave a little later than the mentioned time :). Try your best to follow timelines as it makes your travel experience more fun & avoid testing the patience levels of punctual travelers. 😉
Ensure you carry a government-approved photo ID for credentials verification and registration. Your safety is our paramount concern and we have taken adequate steps to ensure the same.
With Tripver you begin your journey as a tourist but we ensure that you return back as a traveler. We request you to come with an open mind. 🙂 Tripver is a travel community and not a travel agency. It is formed & run by the equal participation of each member.
