Jodhpur->Jaisalmer->Bikaner in 5 days : Part-1

By

Since quite some time I have been thinking “what an amazing experience it will be drive through the Rajasthan deserts and barren lands”. I have only seen those in movies but to do it on my own is something I have always been dreaming for. Unfortunately because of our professional life, it is not always an easy job to plan such kind of trips. But then you get a chance and you have to reap the advantages then and there on. Exactly that is what I did, and made a quick plan of visiting Jodhpur, Jaisalmer during the republic day leave on 2012. Took two additional days leave and planned the whole trip. And as we found out later, it was not a bad decision at all. Here’s a small description on the entire trip that I had and I hope this will be really helpful to those who are actually planning for such trips. Although 5 days is a bit tight for visiting these places, I tried to cover the maximum things that can be visited within this schedule.

Delhi -> Jodhpur ->Jaisalmer -> Bikaner Road Review

By

A road trip starting from Delhi to Jodhpur, then over to Jaisalmer and a return back via Bikaner is an amazing experience. It is always advisable to start the journey at the break of dawn to avoid the rush hour. We started around 3:00 AM (did I say break of dawn?) and were in Jaipur by 7.00 AM. The Delhi-Jaipur Highway (NH-8) is under construction for expansion. Be prepared to face a lot of mud & deep craters on the roads. We still managed to go maintain a speed of 60-70 Kmph and sometimes accelerated to about 110 kmph. Good facilities for breakfast and refreshments along the highway provided by Rajasthan Tourism & other privately held outlets make the journey comfortable.

Delhi Jodhpur Road Review

By

Roads till Beawar are in reasonable condition; wide and smooth. There are two issues here, though. First, there are at least three (if I remember correctly) railway crossings which tend to create bottlenecks and hold up the infinite traffic when the gates are closed (and also when gates are open! thanks to long, narrow passages leading into and away from the railway phatak). Second, this stretch passes through industrialised areas including the marble quarries of Kishangarh.

We had hot Pyaj ki Kachauri, Mirchi Bada & Anjeer Shake. Specially, my son liked the shake very much. Although, our plan has been just for snacks, but food was so rich that it gave us feeling of lunch. Total expense was just Rs. 120 for 2 & half people.

मंडोर गार्डन, जोधपुर : राजपूत वैभव का प्रतीक (Mandore Garden, Jodhpur)

By

वर्षों से जोधपुर राजपुताना वैभव का केन्द्र रहा है। जिसके प्रमाण आज भी जोधपुर शहर से लगे अनेक स्थानों पर प्राचीन इमारतों के रूप में मिल जाते हैं। जोधपुर से 9 किलोमीटर की दूरी पर एक ऐतिहासिक स्थान मौजूद है जिसको मंडोर गार्डन के नाम से पुकारा जाता है। इसी के नाम पर एक ट्रैन का नाम भी रखा गया है-मंडोर एक्सप्रेस जोकि दिल्ली से जोधपुर के लिए चलती है। मैंने भी जोधपुर पहुंचने के लिए इसी ट्रेन का रिजर्वेशन करवाया था। यह ट्रैन शाम को पुरानी दिल्ली से चलती है और सुबह सात बजे जोधपुर पहुंचा देती है।
