Life in Jodhpur is no fantasy. The city of 1,033,918 residents swelters through extreme temperatures from March to October, with the mercury routinely exceeding 40°C. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, as evidenced by the city's slow approval of a proposed metro system. Still, Jodhpur's strategic location and thriving industries make it a viable option for those drawn to its famed heritage sites and handicraft scene.
