Day 1: Itihaas ki Galiyon se lekar Chatpate Snacks Tak
Apna safar shuru karte hain Jodhpur ke shaan Umaid Bhawan Palace se. Yahaan ghoomte hue aapko maharajaon ke zamane ki hawa mahsoos hogi. Subah ka waqt itihaas ke saath bitane ke baad, hum chalte hain Mehrangarh Fort ki taraf. Fort se Jodhpur ka nazara dekhna, bas kuch aur hi feel hai bhai!
Itihaas ke iss deep dive ke baad, ab time hai kuch khaas Jodhpuri nashte ka. Pehla stop hai Chaudhary Namkeen, jahaan ka Mirchi Bada aapke taste buds ko ek alag hi level pe le jaayega. Phir, Surya Namkeen ki baari, jahaan Shahi Samosa aapko 'ek aur please' bolne par majboor kar dega.
Din ka agla padav hai Blue City Street ki vibrant sair. Yahaan ke neele ghar, chote bazaars aur friendly log aapko apna sa feel karayenge. Aur is khubsurat sair ke baad, hum pahunchte hain Toorji Ka Jhalra Bavdi - ek prachin aur manmohak stepwell, jo itihaas ka bejod namuna hai. Yahaan ki shanti aur sundarta aapko ek alag hi sukoon degi.
Day 2: Mithas, Safari aur Sukoon ka Tadka
Dusre din ki shuruaat hoti hai Osian Desert Safari se. Desert ki iss safari mein, dunes ke beech ki thrill aur shaanti dono ka anubhav aapko hamesha yaad rahega. Subah subah desert mein sunrise dekhna, bhai waah, kya baat hai!
Safari ke baad, hum wapas sheher mein hain mithas ki talash mein. Pehla stop hai Chaturbhuj, jahaan ka Gulab Jamun aapko meetha meetha sapna dikhayega. Uske baad Shri Mishrilal Hotel ka number hai, jahaan Makhaniya Lassi pi kar garmi ka ehsaas hi nahi rahega.
Lunch time pe, hum Jodhpur Sweets pe hain. Yahaan ki Rasmalai aur Ras Madhuri to bas, dil le gayi meri. Itni mithas, itna pyaar!
Dopahar baad, Shri Ram Namkeen Gita Bhawan Road pe Pyaaz Kachori ka time. Phir Janta Sweets for Pyaaz Kachori and Mogar Kachori, kyunki ek se mera kya hoga?
Safar ka end Highway Delight pe hota hai. Yahaan ka Kadhai Paneer aur Malai Kofta, khaana nahi, celebration hai bhai!
[Edit 4-Dec-2024] Kalinga Restaurant ka laal maas jarur khaana.
Toh bas, do din Jodhpur mein aise guzarte hain jaise ek sapna. Itihaas, rang birangi galiyaan, aur khaana jo zubaan se kabhi utrega nahi. Jodhpur aake dekho, yahaan ka culture, yahaan ki tradition aapko apna bana legi.
