The Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur

The symbol of modern Jodhpur. 
Built to provide employment to thousands, during a prolonged period of famine and drought.
presently: part-palace, part-hotel and full time-heritage.

Pros:

a.Grand ... as seen on a misty morning from the Mehrangarh fort.







d. Impressive





b. De-luxe... 

c. Great food & staff... a view of the Marwar hall... made after a particularly satisfying lunch....





Cons:

If you have a budget like mine, yahaan thaharne ki "Umaid" na karna. 


In other words, you need to be a "Thop" to stay here.

  1. You are a "thop" in drawing!
    If I owned Umaid Bhavan, you would have had a free stay.
