I went to Club Mahindra Jaisalmer of which I am the member. Trip went okay. I will try to outline what happened in the trip.
Day 1 of Trip
Day 1 will happen to be March 14, 2016 when I boarded the train Ranakpur Express at Bandra Terminus. Platform was crowded but got the seat in the train Myself and my wife had got Side Lower and Side Upper berths in 3rd AC compartment.
Day 2 of Trip
March 15, 2016 will happen to be Day 2 when train was approaching Falna and Marwar Junction. Jodhpur was our stoppage and was expected around 10 AM. On the way the train was getting emptier and emptier. The Ranakpur Express last stop was Bikaner and there was a big family with whom we were sharing the coach and they were going all the way. Meanwhile we got down at Jodhpur and the I decided to stay at a hotel near railway station. It was a pretty expensive room for Rs 1000 which we were supposed to vacate at 11 PM (there was not going to be a night stay).
After having bath we came down and we got hold of a taxi driver rather he got hold of us and decided to show us around Jodhpur for Rs 1200 in an AC taxi. Four spots were covered.

- Umaid Singh Palace: This a hotel cum museum. Worth visiting. Located on hilltop. Very good and nice. View from top is fantastic. The King has also given his land for construction of apartments and villas.
- Mandaur Garden: This is a very big garden and definitely worth a visit. But due to prescence of monkeys we did not go inside. And monkeys are no ordinary monkeys, they are those 'langoor' monkeys with black face and all. And they leap huge leaps.
- Jodhpur fort: This a very beautiful fort and definitely should be visited by one and all. This is like a 'Taj Mahal' spot. It should be like included in '1000 places to see before I die'.
- Jaswant Thada: This is the mausoleum for Jodhpur kings and queens. I suppose this is the place where the last rites of the kings were done.
