There's nothing like unwinding by the water while you're on vacation. Enjoy an afternoon picnic at Padamsar Lake and then stay for an impressive sunset.

When you've finished at this body of water in Jodhpur, why not check out Mehrangarh Fort, Umaid Bhawan Palace, and Ghantaghar Clock? They're not very far from Padamsar Lake and also a favorite with many tourists.

8.8/10 Excellent! (16 reviews)

*5/5 Stars - Exceptional Service, Luxurious Stay & Unforgettable Experience!* I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Grand Kalifa, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! The service was top-notch, with the staff being incredibly responsive, friendly and attentive to every need. The hotel's cleanliness and amenities were impeccable, making my stay truly comfortable. But what really stood out was the exceptional care taken by the staff to ensure I felt valued and cared for. But the real pièce de résistance was the Grand khalifa luxury Camp! Luxurious, serene and breathtakingly beautiful, it offered the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Stargazing from the comfort of my outdoor bed was a magical experience I'll never forget. Highlights: - Impeccable service - Luxurious camp resort - Exceptional customer care - Cleanliness and amenities - Unique stargazing experience I highly recommend Hotel Grand Kalifa to anyone seeking a luxurious, relaxing and unforgettable getaway. The staff's dedication to excellence shines through in every aspect, making this hotel a true gem. *Will I return? Absolutely!*

You probably haven’t seen many shots of Jodhpur that look like this.

That’s because we always go the extra mile to bring you guys unique, original content and images that you’ll rarely find elsewhere.

Twobirdsbreakingfree is about innovation, creativity, pushing your edges and blazing your own trail as a traveller.

We like guidebooks but we don’t follow them slavishly.

To get our exclusive images we often have to gain access to restricted or off-limits areas, sometimes even risking our safety.

You’ll often see us leaning backwards over the edge of a cliff or a high wall to get that perfect camera angle.

To get this shot of Ranisar Talab lake behind the majestic Mehrangarh fort of the blue city of Jodhpur in Rajasthan, India, we had to step outside of what would be most people’s comfort zones.

We had to traverse a wild, rocky desert landscape, navigate a steep incline, pass through a tiny doorway in an ancient crumbling fort wall, and then clamber up a steep slope of rubble and loose rocks to get up on top of that very same fort wall.

Once at the very top of the wall looking out over the lake, I had to back up to the very edge of the wall and avoid falling to my death to the ground over 30 metres below, just to get that perfect shot.

This was an off-limits part of the Mehrangarh fort complex where the vast majority of tourists almost never venture!

Epic shots often have epic stories behind them! We wanted to bring this issue to light, as many people don’t understand that if you want to take extraordinary travel photos, you sometimes have to be willing to do extraordinary things and step far outside of your comfort zone.

And what about you? Do you go the extra mile for your travel photos or do you prefer the more passive approach, waiting until an amazing image finds you instead? Do you go chasing light, or wait for the light to come to you?
