Bal Samand Lake Palace

It’s probably the best-kept secret in town. And certainly one of the prettiest. The Bal Samand Lake Palace was originally the summer residence of the Jodhpur Maharajas, and the red sandstone building is set on lovely terraced gardens around the lake. There are 10 palace suites, surprising you with unexpected niches ad carved arches. But It’s a place to spend as much time outdoors as you do indoors. A horse drawn carriage will take you down to the open-air garden restaurant strung with fairly lights and heated with braziers, which also serves some of the best food in Jodhpur. in the blue city, must Gypsy in Sardarpura serves up a traditional Rajasthani thali that’s revered by locals and tourists alike.
