Day 14 : Back to Jodhpur

The Clock Market

The clock tower is the central point of Jodhpur.


There is a big market standing around the clock : spices, fruits & vegetables, clothes, varieties of seeds (corn, lentil, rice...) & lots of other things... The tower was built in 1910 by Maharajah Sardar to give the time to inhabitants. That's why the market is called the Sardar Market.



Umaid Bhawan Palace
We also visited the Umaid Bhawan Palace where the Maharajah of Jodhpur is living at the moment. This monument has got three different parts :
1- The Maharajah & his family house
2- A Palace Hotel part of Taj Resort which is a famous Indian Hotel Brand all over the country.
3- The museum


Having fun in the small blue streets of the old city
We met very nice indian people walking in these very tight streets.
We also had Masala tea with old men and tried to discuss with them because they couldn't speak english.
Masala tea is the most popular drink in India. It's tea with milk, cardamon & ginger. First, you boil the milk twice, then you had Chai tea, the spices and sugar. This is a very good hot drink and you can find it wherever you want.
