I spent 4.5 months travelling around India. I based myself in Goa and travelled to Kerala (South) and Jodhpur, Jaipur, Udaipur in the North - and various places in between. I have to say that Jodhpur was one of the locations that really stood out for me - and I would go back there again.

The locals are friendly and the area has lots of nice things to see and do. We visited the main castle in Jodhpur - you can see for miles around. We then took a tour of the blue city. There were palaces to see and markets to visit, gardens to relax in and the desert to admire.

There are lots of lovely places to stay overnight. We spent £3.00 each per day which covered our basic accommodation and food/water - but all ancilliary bits were extra. If you go here with the attitude that it's not the same as England and learn to laugh off the idiosyncracies then you will be happier. E.G. Accommodation with a shower may mean that you get a bucket of water to shower yourself in, a carrot salad may mean a carrot roughly chopped up in big round circles - not the nicely grated salad that we would expect. Take it on the chin. The place is different. The fruit juices taste like they've added sugar but they haven't...the fruit/veg are just sweeter here. They take their time showing you places - so don't be in a rush. You will love it here, I can guarantee it!! :-)

I've deleted a good portion of this review and will shortly post a fuller description of my visit - watch this space 26/2/09. xx
