Rajasthan, the land of regal forts, colorful bazaars, and vibrant cultures, is a traveler’s delight. While popular cities like Jaipur, Udaipur, and Jodhpur are well-known for their iconic attractions, a whole world of hidden gems are waiting to be explored in the nearby regions.
If you’re longing for an offbeat and authentic Rajasthani experience, pack your bags and embark on a journey to uncover the lesser-known corners of this enchanting state, just a stone’s throw away from the blue city of Jodhpur. Get transported back in time, where age-old traditions and natural wonders intertwine to create an unforgettable experience.
At Infinite Journeys, we go beyond the ordinary holiday experiences. Here’s a list of some must-visit destinations near Jodhpur, Rajasthan to experience authentic royalty. Let’s begin!
MANVAR Sevan: The Desert Camp
Located 107 km from Jodhpur, MANVĀR Sevan The Desert Camp is a true oasis amidst the vast expanse of the Thar Desert. The camp offers an authentic desert experience with its luxurious, colorfully decorated, safari-style tents arranged in a semi-circle, each equipped with modern amenities for your comfort. Imagine waking up to the gentle whispers of the desert breeze, surrounded by towering sand dunes that stretch as far as the eye can see.
Embark on a thrilling desert safari, where you’ll traverse the undulating dunes in rugged jeeps, catching glimpses of the desert wildlife. Or, if a camel safari is more your style, experience the age-old mode of transportation used by desert dwellers. As the sun sets, prepare for a night under the starry skies, where you can indulge in traditional Rajasthani cuisine and be captivated by the mesmerizing performances of local folk dancers and musicians.

Most guests choose Sam Desert (near Jaisalmer) for their Desert experience. However, barring exceptions Sam is now a buzzling (read chaotic) destination that is no more a place for peace lovers. Manvar, while being logistically convenient, is importantly an exclusive and a less crowded option. It is hence no surprise that it is a preferred destination/resort of our inbound foreign guests.

Rohetgarh: A Regal Retreat
Just 36 km from Jodhpur lies the House of Rohetgarh, a luxurious heritage property that promises an immersive experience of the rich culture and history of rural Rajasthan. This former royal residence has been meticulously restored, retaining its regal charm while offering modern amenities to its guests.
Explore the nearby villages, where time seems to have stood still, and witness the age-old traditions and customs that have been passed down through generations. Interact with the friendly locals, learn about their way of life, and even try your hand at traditional handicrafts.
Back at the property, indulge in a sumptuous feast featuring authentic Rajasthani delicacies, try out an authentic Rajasthani culinary workshop, go on a village safari, indulge in birdwatching, and witness the Marwari Horses. If you are coming here during Gangaur, be ready to experience this festival the extravagant way!
It has one of the most beautiful swimming pools that you would see in your Resort!
Check if you want to add this and this too can be an idea for a fresh blog ie Palaces Vs Havelis of Rajasthan…what should a guest choose.
Please check for words and grammatical corrections
Rohetgarh is one of the most beautiful “Havelis” of Rajasthan. Havelis offer an authentic heritage experience while not being as extravagantly expensive as the Palaces that many (especially our Inbound Foreign guests) ask for while planning their Rajasthan / India holidays. Do check with us for the Palaces and/or Havelis that can be suitably added to your itinerary.
Ranakpur: An Architectural Marvel
Nestled amidst the verdant Aravalli Hills, approximately 155 km from Jodhpur, lies the architectural wonder of Ranakpur. The Chaumukha Jain Temple is a true masterpiece, boasting intricate carvings and exquisite marble work that will leave you awestruck.
As you step inside the main temple, you’ll be greeted by intricately carved pillars, each one with intricate designs that tell the story of the past. The ceilings are a work of art, adorned with intricate motifs and patterns that seem to defy gravity. Spend your time marveling at the artistry and attention to detail that has gone into creating this architectural marvel, a testament to the skill and devotion of the artisans who built it.
There’s more to Ranakpur than just temples! The Kumbhalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary is close by, and it’s a great place to witness diverse flora and fauna. This sanctuary is home to leopards, deers, sloth bears and more. So, for animal lovers, it’s an exciting adventure!
Kumbalgarh: Unraveling the Secrets of a Mighty Fortress
The mighty Kumbalgarh Fort stands as a formidable testament to the Rajasthan’s rich history. Located 173 km from Jodhpur, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a must-visit for those seeking to unravel the secrets of Rajasthan’s glorious past.
As you walk through the massive gates and winding pathways of this fort, you’ll be transported back in time, imagining the battles fought and the lives lived within these towering walls. Imagine yourself wandering through temples and palaces adorned with intricate carvings, each detail whispering a story of the fort’s rich past. Climb to the top of the fort’s massive ramparts and be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views. The beauty of the Aravalli Hills will stretch out before you, leaving you awestruck.
Kumbhalgarh is fortunate to be the birthplace of Maharana Pratap! And as such an unmissable place for a proud Indian…
