Blue City, Jodhpur

edit 01 of this series is set in the Spread over 3 days, this experiential holiday includes staying at the stunning Daspan House; a boutique homely experience built on an upcycled property from the 1920s, a day at Mharo Khet; the experimental and sustainable women-led farm and the wonderful company of Insia Lacewalla, a passionate curator of regional cuisine and underground culture.

Why Jodhpur?

The bright blue cascade of houses in Jodhpur are a striking contrast against the chromatic sands of the Thar Desert. The Blue City is an underrated but often overlooked choice for people travelling to Rajasthan. And this is our attempt at changing that notion a little.

If you look at the city through our eyes, it's more than just palaces, desert dunes, and forts.

Welcome to a corner of Jodhpur you may not have seen before.

Daspan is also home to Old Loco, a casual restaurant and bar that focuses on world cuisine & classic cocktails, serving ever green classics using local & fresh ingredients.
