While on a travel to Rajasthan, do plan a tour to Jodhpur. A Jodhpur tour will prove to offer great insights into the Rajasthani people lives in the desert.

A visit to the Balsamand Lake and Palace is not to be missed out while on Jodhpur tour. In a valley amongst the sandstone hills, lies 300 acres full of greenland and fruit orchards surrounding an artificial lake made in the 12th century. This proves to be a truly idyllic spot for spending a day long picnic with family and friends. Two places one should not forget to visit here are the Sardar Govt. Museum, Zoo and Umaid Public Park Umaid Bhawan Palace Museum – which contains a vast collection on Jainism and their Tirthankars, textiles, armory, artifacts of the time of Maharaj Umaid Singhji.
