How I booked the room: The prevailing rate for any hotel room in Hyderabad at my time of booking was somewhere around 25000 INR (~300 USD) and there were virtually no hotels available within the central part of the city for the last 4 nights of our stay in India.
Because of the scheduling of the direct flight from Hyderabad to Jodhpur, I found myself staying in Jodhpur for three nights and making a reservation at the Radisson Jodhpur for the first night. As I had spent a decent amount of money to stay at the Umaid Bhavan Palace, I …
During a recent trip to India, I got to stay at the awe inspiring Umaid Bhavan Palace in Jodhpur. The palace is one of the largest private residences in the world and was built between 1928 and 1943. It’s a magnificent blend of Eastern and Western architectural styles, showcasing the …
