The park has over 250 species of native plants that include a large number of lithophytes that are especially suited for the arid desert environment.

Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park

You will be picked up from your hotel leave for sightseeing.
Situated at the foot of the historic Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park is a delight for ecologists and visitors alike. It was created in 2006 to try and restore the natural ecology of a large, rocky wasteland next to Mehrangarh Fort. It had suffered from years of neglect and was overrun by an invasive, thorny shrub, Prosopis juliflora, introduced from Central America almost a century ago. Today the park is home to native rock-loving plants and desert fauna. Explore the park accompanied by your naturalist guide. The area in and around the park contains distinctive volcanic rock and sandstone formations. Over 200 species of birds can be seen in the park. A small ‘xeriscape’ has been created in the park to display a range of plant species characteristic of rocky habitats.
Once your tour will be finished you will be driven back to your hotel.
