Yes, have been there a couple of times, and love it. Notable mainly for its romantic old fortress, and for the Mararajah's 1920s palace, now a 5-star hotel (the Umaid Bhavan). But I recommend that you stay at the older, more atmospheric Ajit Bhavan, belonging to the present Maharajah (Babji)'s uncle. Very good food, and folk music/dance, in the evenings. See http://www.jodhpur-hotels.com/ajit.htm

hi! have you read anything on hijras yet? i read an excellent book about these people when i was in college (sorry, i can`t remember the name of the book). i think that they are really interesting and they are often talked about in indian society.
