Jodhpur Hotel Features and Leisure Activities

Area Infomation:

Jodhpur, second largest city in the state of Rajasthan after Jaipur, lies on the edge of the Thar desert. The dry hot summer days of the desert climate with soaring temperatures contrast the biting cold winter nights. Evening temperatures in summer drop considerably and make nights much more tolerable and the winter sun makes for crisp, bright days.

A fair amount of rainfall in the months of July and August ensures that the catchment areas in and around the city fill up and that the city is fairly green.

At the heart of the Marwar region, Jodhpur is also hub to many places of interest in the region.
