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

    Rahul's 4 days trip to Jodhpur

    We had amazing experience in the trip. The travel agents were to the point and transparent. Rohit coordinated our travel plan, he was very helpful in customising our trip, hotels and experience bookings in advance. He helped me in deciding places of attraction. Asran ji took over as incharge once we landed in udaipur. He was very kind and prompt to us too. Our driver was good indeed, he was telling about the scams that happen in tourist places and warned us to stay away from them, however at one point in puskar we felt we succumbed to his scam when he assigned us to a guide who was his acquaintance and that guy took us to the priest who demanded us donations irrationally. I request the tourist companies to be aware of those things and keep a watch on their employees. But overall we are happy with our driver. He was punctual to the core and we never had to wait for him even it was in the beginning of the day or even when we went into a place to explore. He was always there. Thank you travel triangle for connecting us to such a wonderful travel agency and special thanks to Rohit for making this smooth and wonderful experience for us. Palace fort in udaipur, live sketching in udaipur palace, astonishing paintings, antiques and handicrafts, jaipur chappals, local artisan made sarees and comforts, local rajasthani cuisine ( we tried nearly 15+ local foods), cultural heritage, and many more I can write.
