Jodhpur-Jaisalmer NY Trip

As we stepped into   Day 3 , New Year was around the corner. The thought of ending the year at such a high octane put us all into high spirits. With Jaisalmer still left to experience, we were ready to make the most of every moment this day had to offer. Y’all must be thinking, it’s our final day in the vibrant city of Jodhpur, and we still haven’t visited the awe-inspiring Mehrangarh Fort. But hey, we saved the very best for last. We enjoyed a relaxed breakfast at the hotel (and I still wasn’t bored of it), went through our daily fit check (still don’t get the point of it), and then made our way toward the city’s most iconic attraction, the grand, historic, centuries old — Mehrangarh Fort. Perched atop a hill, the majestic fort not only provided a strategic advantage against enemies and asserted dominance, but also served as a lookout over the Blue City. Today, it stands as a major tourist attraction, generating significant revenue each day while also supporting traditional artis...

Greetings once again! As we stepped into DAY 2 of the trip, the excitement was still very much alive, if anything, it had only grown stronger overnight. For me, the true enjoyment begins on DAY 2 with one particular ritual that I look forward to on every trip, and continue religiously until I (somehow) get bored of it. No, it’s not exploring or traveling around… it’s the hotel breakfast . I genuinely can’t explain the obsession. Maybe it’s the break from the usual, repetitive breakfast at home, or maybe it’s just the irresistible variety and taste, it doesn’t even matter. There’s just something about walking into a buffet, plate in hand, ready to try a bit of everything, that feels like pure happiness. After an absolutely blissful start to Day 2, we were all set to dive into the day’s exploration of the vibrant and bustling town of Jodhpur. Our driver arrived right on time, and soon we were on our way to the magnificent Umaid Bhawan Palace. As we reached, we hired a guide, and the mo...

Hiya readers, I am back with yet another impeccable and interesting blog on DAY 1 of our  NEW YEAR  trip. We woke up quite early in the morning to see nothing outside of window. It was as if we were living in a cloud . We were so nervous about the flight departure, but we carried on with the routine. As we reached the airport, after numerous cab request denials , we were relieved to know that the flight hadn't been delayed.  We finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed for the first time since dawn as we whizzed past the security check. After we had our breakfast, we were on our way to the jam-packed boarding gates. The irony, it was gate number -- 13! As if it were destined to be, our flight was delayed by half an hour. We waited at our laboriously claimed seats, hoping for the flight to be no further delayed. Fortune was on our side that day, and the flight departed at the estimated time and landed in Jodhpur airport without any snag. As soon as we touched down, the...

 So, here goes the  unfiltered, raw and straight from the heart  feelings regarding the trip I took to Jodhpur and Jaisalmer on the  NEW YEAR 2026.    It all started, when I was being talked to regarding my  10th CBSE boards, future choices  and all that and my mother suddenly exclaimed, "Oh! Next year Gitansh (my name) would be in 10th and busy in his studies, why don't we go on a trip for the  NEW YEAR  before that happens." The whole family (including me, obviously) thought that it was a good idea. My father started to research upon different locations to visit, and he stumbled upon Jaisalmer. Since long, we had been yearning to tour Jaisalmer, so that was it, we also added Jodhpur in the itinerary and got into the  pre-trip mode of excitement and  shopping.  We made god knows how many outings to innumerable outlets in DLF Mall of India, and Gulshan One29 Mall. Being dramatic, we must have earned them a revenue equal to...
