What to do in Jodhpur when it rains

Jodhpur keeps the rain at bay with its museums and galleries, its covered markets and its cafés — everything you need for an indoor day out.

Museums

Spend a few hours in the city's museums — many are free, and a rainy day is the perfect excuse to take your time.
