About Clock Tower, Jodhpur Rajasthan

Clock Tower Jodhpur

The Clock Tower in Jodhpur is a magnificent landmark in the old city, and one of the most recognizable monuments in Jodhpur. The Clock Tower, named as ‘Ghanta Ghar’ by the locals, which is almost a literal translation, is three-storey tall and has a giant English style clock at the top which is still ticking today.

History of Clock Tower (Ghanta Ghar)

The Ghanta Ghar Jodhpur is popular for the peculiar way in which it has been constructed. With clock towers, the architecture tends to be more Gothic in its style. However, over the course of time as the building was undertaken by Maharaja Sardar Singh in the late 1890s, the Ghanta Ghar acquired a lot more Indian aspects that can still be witnessed today. Looking more like a minaret than a square clock tower, it is a true architectural marvel and worth visiting for anyone traveling to Jodhpur. 

Shopping in Clock Tower

Among popular things to do in Jodhpur, the Clock Tower in Jodhpur is known for another reason, which is that it is the landmark under which the old city begins and one of the main shopping hubs of Jodhpur, the Sardar Market is located. The view of Jodhpur from the top of the Clock Tower is spectacular, with the overarching silhouette of the fort framing the view. Travellers can also go shopping in Jodhpur’s Ghanta Ghar Market in Jodhpur to pick up souvenirs. Silver jewellery, marble figures, vintage paintings, ivory, puppets, and pottery are popular things to buy while shopping in Jodhpur.

Pradeep's 6 days trip to Jodhpur

Excellent arrangement end to end. Overall it was customized as per my needs. Except for last day stay at sunrise resort (not a great place to stay - smelly/muddy tap water, smelly tent, insects everywhere, at Sam sand dunes.) Every other stay was great. driver om prakash was excellent in suggestions and helping to tour around.

Arjun's 6 days trip to Jodhpur

I was having a long dream of going on a solo trip and my planning brought me to Travel Triangle which took me to BacktoBack Holidays. I had booked a customized solo trip to Rajasthan and I would like to take this moment to describe the best experience I had with them. It was a pleasure to book through BacktoBack Holidays and I wholeheartedly thank Preethi Ji for having created this wonderful itinerary for me, as she really catered for all the needs of mine and created a fantastic plan for me to adhere all the places I had requested to. I really am overwhelmed with the hospitality and the kind gesture bestowed by Preethi Everything was top notch, the driver Jeethu who was the best in class and was always on time with whom I felt I wasn't on a solo trip at all. All the rooms were very well maintained and hygienic. Especially the Kuchaman Haveli in Jodhpur gave an ecstatic feel about staying in an ancient palace. The complimentary breakfast offered by all the hotels were also very tasty. The itinerary was so perfectly balanced that I was able to make the best out of it. Cheers to one extremely memorable trip for having created it so well! I totally recommend Back2back Holidays and especially Preethi Ji if you are looking for having the best experience and a memorable trip to undertake! Thank you Back2back Holidays And Thank you very much Preethi ji!
