Day 2: Jaipur to Jodhpur (350 kilometers / 218 miles)
Get ready to hit the road, post your breakfast at the hotel. Today you will be traveling to Jodhpur and the distance you need to cover is 338.8 km. It should take you no more than 5 hours 50 minutes to reach your destination. Upon arrival, you complete your check-in procedure and then head out to scout through the city. The first destination on your itinerary is the Umaid Bhavan Palace. Built-in the year 1944, it derives its names from the then Maharaja, Raja Umaid Singh.
The architecture of the place is an example of the art-deco and the Indo-colonial style of the ’30s. Well, all K2K Expeditions can say is that you should have a look for yourself and trust them, you will not be disappointed. The next destination in Jodhpur is the Mehrangarh Fort. Not just the fort, but the museum of this place is also worth your time. The fort derives its name from Mehr-Garh, where “Mehr” means sun and “Garh” is a fort. It is amongst the largest and most beautiful forts of India and is one of the major attractions frequented by tourists.

Two-thirds into your journey, you will ride through the well-known village of Pokhran. On arrival, get some rest at the hotel/camp and later go out to explore the desert-town of Rajasthan. The heritage sites, the historical temples, the glimmering bazaars – Jaisalmer is as authentic Rajasthan gets.

During the entire ride, you will be able to see a lot of camel-carts maneuvering the sand dunes on both sides of the road. There will be desert-sand as far as you can see so make sure you get a little dirty in the sand as getting that picture clicked with your bike against the desert-backdrop. After riding for a couple of hours, arrive in the border town of Longewala – the battleground of the 1971 Indo-Pak war.
