At Jodphur, a splendid Royal Welcome awaits...both at airport and Umaid Bhawan Palace.

Met at Jodphur airport in Royal style with an old Chevy

A royal banquet held in our honor at 'Baradari Lawns' at the Palace.

The Maharajah of Jodphur - His Highness Gaj Singhjii II - Born 1948 came to the thrown when he was just 5 years old. He opened his home, palace and heart to us with an amazing dance performance and lavish evening buffet in the grounds of his Palace.

This beautiful stately palace - Newest of all Indians palaces built of interlocking sandstone without mortar or cement, started in 1929 completed in 1943. Probably our favourite hotel throughout the trip - The warmth, love and caring of this Palace is not to be missed.
