Jodhpur and Osian Desert Temple Trail

TOUR RATING
New on Evynx

Jodhpur's Blue City extended into Osian's desert temples and dunes.

About this tour

A private 5-day extension of Jodhpur's city circuit that adds Osian, an ancient desert temple town roughly 65 km northwest of the city, often called the Khajuraho of Rajasthan for its 8th-to-12th-century temple carvings. The first two days cover Jodhpur itself - Mehrangarh Fort towering over the Blue City's rooftops, Jaswant Thada's marble cenotaph, and the old city's bazaars - before the drive out to Osian for a night in the Thar Desert. Osian's Sachiya Mata Temple and its 15th-century marble Jain temple carry some of the finest surviving temple stone-carving in the state, and the surrounding sand dunes offer a genuine desert-safari experience closer to Jodhpur than Jaisalmer's more famous dunes. Built for travellers who want Jodhpur's Blue City character plus a real desert-and-temple night, without the longer drive out to Jaisalmer.

Highlights

  • Mehrangarh Fort - one of Rajasthan's largest and best-preserved forts, towering over the Blue City
  • Osian's Sachiya Mata Temple - hilltop 8th-to-12th-century carvings often called the Khajuraho of Rajasthan
  • Osian's 15th-century marble Jain temple - among the finest surviving carved pillar work in the state
  • A genuine desert-dune safari and camel ride closer to Jodhpur than Jaisalmer's more famous dunes
  • A route-combination extending Jodhpur's city circuit into a real desert-and-temple experience
