Type of destination: Historical Landmark
Ideal visit duration: 30 minutes - 1 hour
Toorji Ka Jhalra, also known as Toorji's Step Well, is an ancient stepwell located in the heart of Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India. It was constructed in the 1740s by the queen-consort of Maharaja Abhay Singh, and showcases the architectural genius of the time with its intricate carvings and ornamental features. The stepwell served as a water management system in the arid landscape of Rajasthan, a place where locals could gather, socialize, and cool off. Over the years, Toorji Ka Jhalra fell into disrepair, but it has been recently restored to its former glory. The stepwell is a symbol of Jodhpur's rich history and is easily accessible within the city's winding blue alleyways. Breathtaking sandstone carvings depict various gods, goddesses, and animals, adorning the many steps that lead down to the water. Today, it is not only an important historical site but also a popular hangout spot for both locals and tourists, contributing to the cultural tapestry of Jodhpur.

Good vibes
Really great place to spend a peaceful morning in. The famous mehrangarh fort is just a small hike away from this bavdi (step well). You’re free to take a dip in and go for a swim. â£ï¸
