Bye bye Jodhpur

We’ve loved Jodhpur. Probably our favourite place in Rajashtan. Its got lots happening but without the population and chaotic traffic. Bazaars, kite flying, walking around lakes and parks, navigating monsoon flooded streets and chilling on the roof top restaurants with views out over the fort.

Durag Niwas Guest House has been great. A relaxed easy place to stay with interesting and friendly owners. And two cool dogs Chilli (sausage dog) and Pepper (pug dog)

We spent a few nights at Gopals rooftop restaurant and got asked for interior design advice. The wooden windows we chose were in by the time we returned to Jodhpur from Jaislamer, and last night we chose natural wooden furniture and suggested chairs with bright lime or orange cushions! Fun.
