Talk:Jodhpur

"Learn" section moved from article

This section doesn't seem to serve the visitor who's in Jodhpur for 2 weeks or less, so I move it here in case any of this information might be relevant for the "See" section, or perhaps some of these institutions do offer short courses:

Learn

Mehrangarh Fort

Converted large amount of text for Mehrangarh Fort into a See listing thus creating a POI on the maps as this is a very important entry on the page. Appearance is the same as before. - Matroc (talk) 06:31, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Contentless and far-flung "Sleep" listings

From the article:

• Heritage Hotel Ajit Bhawan Palace, Circuit House Road. 
• Heritage Hotel Balsamand Lake Palace, Mandore Road. 
• Heritage Hotel Fort Khejarla. 85 km from Jodhpur. 40 rooms with elegant furniture, and antiques. The mosaic laid rooms have high ceilings, historical photographs, traditional old paintings, elegant tapestry, beautifully carved furniture and panoramic views. 

Is 85 km too far away to list? Please discuss.

Yes, articles are for POIs actually in the destination the article is about, and that hotel is apparently in some other city (list it there instead) or in the countryside (list it in the Jodhpur Division article). Also, I checked out the dynamic map, and there's one hotel (#2) that apparently is about 100 kms northeast of the city as the crow flies. ϒpsilon (talk) 07:09, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

I see. Ranbanka Palace is apparently in or near Kuchera. And Khejarla Fort is 85 km outside Jodhpur, so I've moved its "See" listing here, too. Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:22, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

• 1 Khejarla Fort. Located 85 km. from the main city. Situated in a rural setting, the 400 year old, Fort Khejarla offers guests an enlivening experience. The stunning red sandstone monument is an example of the Rajput architecture. The Fort offers picturesque settings, latticework friezes, and intricate Jharoka.
