1-Day Jodhpur Bike Ride Itinerary

Let’s be honest — 1 day in Jodhpur is never enough! The city deserves at least 2–3 days. But if you’re coming via train or using Jodhpur as a quick stop, here’s a compressed itinerary that helps you cover the essentials in just one day.

You can rent a scooter/bike (₹350–450/day) from anywhere, or hire a cab/rickshaw (₹700–900/day) to get around quickly.

🌅 Morning

Start early with Mehrangarh Fort. Spend around 2–3 hours exploring its museum, viewpoints, and the Jaswant Thada, the marble cenotaph right next to the fort, known for its peaceful gardens and views of the city.

🌞 Afternoon

For lunch, head to Gypsy Restaurant — famous for its Rajasthani Thali. It’s on the pricier side but offers a variety of authentic dishes in one platter. A great way to sample Jodhpur’s flavors in limited time.

🌆 Evening

Ride towards Umaid Bhawan Palace. Explore its museum, vintage car gallery, and learn about the royal legacy. Spend your evening enjoying the palace gardens before heading back to your station or bus stop for your onward journey.

Quick Tips

• Keep your ID and driving license handy.
• Wear comfortable shoes — forts & palaces involve lots of walking.
• Gypsy restaurant usually has a wait time; plan accordingly.
• If short on time, skip shopping — focus only on the top attractions.
