We arrived in Jodhpur after a very long train journey and it was dark (Mid Evening) so the initial journey from the Station to Suraj Havelli via Tuk Tuk was quite an experience. For new travellers to the City of Jodhpur be prepared for lots of vibrant noise.
When we arrived close to our Homestay we realised that it was located within the very narrow, twisty cobbled lanes so it makes wheeling of cases a little tricky. In addition there are a lot of dogs which in turn led to quite a lot of 'avoidance' moments to ensure you didn't a) step in any mess or b) have your suitcase wheels go throught it. However, when we arrived at Surej Havelli we were so warmly greeted and welcomed not just by our immediate hosts but also from their family members too, which was fabulous and sincerely given to us and from what we could see, to all who were staying at Suraj. Whilst we loved our stay in this incredible City, we couldn't help but be disheartened by how very dirty it was especially as the City offers so much incredible architecture and splendid, sophisticated beauty. As stated earlier, Jodhpur is a loud, full on vibrant City and offers travellers many magical moments along with great restaurants serving delicious veg and non veg food choices but when walking around, be prepared for those many necessary 'avoidance' moments and seeing a fair few variations of animals, all sizes roaming freely.
