Nice building but with limited access. Inside you will find a small museum of one of the Maharaja's family. If you are traveling in many cities in Rajasthan most probably you won't miss this place.

Nice Museum
Feb 2021 • Solo
The palace is divided into three parts, one part is the residence of the royal family, the second part is a hotel and the third part is a museum having a nice collection. Don't miss the vintage cars on display just across the museum.

Must visit
Jul 2020 • Solo
I was having a layover at Jodhpur and had some time at my hand so decided you visit this place. The place is majestic with some prob given to Hotel Taj, a part of it is owned by the Raj still and a part of it is a museum. If history express you one must visit the museum. The entry fee is minimal but the museum is worth every penny. Overall an excellent visit will recommend it to one and all for sure.

A Royal visit
Jan 2020 • Family
If you are visiting Jodhpur then this is a must visit. Although Umaid Bhawan serves as a royal hotel, some part of the hotel is turned to museum and is open to all. Definitely it has great spots to click photos and the bhawan itself is huge and will leave you mesmerised. There is a part where royal vintage cars are exhibited too. For Indian citizens the entry fee is just Rs. 30.

Largest Royal Residence
Sep 2019
Umaid bhavan palace was built by late Maharaja Umaid Singh in 1943. Its construction was started in 1929. Henry Lanchester was the main architect and he patterned the theme of domes and columns as in the line of govt. building of delhi.
Palace now separated in three main parts - Residence for the royal family, Taj Palace hotel and museum. Palace has some 347 rooms, Tennis court, durbar hall, banquet hall. The interior of the palace is in art deco design.
It is really a fascinating to see this grand structure.

You can pay to stay at the palace as it is a hotel as well. Considering the present situation it will accept guests according to government guidelines. So i suggest that you look into their website and call on the number to clear your queries.
Stay safe!!!

Is a hole day is sufficient for jodhpurs visit?
Praveen Gupta
Bengaluru, India105 contributions
If you want to just cover important tourist spot like mehrangarh, ummed bhavan (and some shopping) then 1 day could be doable. But i have been there for couple of years and i would recommend to spend at least 2 days. Spent sometime walking the lanes of blue city near the fort, savor some local cuisines, shop from local market. Many would say you can do this in one day but then you would be doing is just for sake of covering the spots and not living those moments, believe me :)

If elderly couple are coming alone to see the museum(they cannot climb stairs) will they be comfortable to see the place?
BshriP
Udaipur, India22 contributions
Yes! Its possible for them to visit . They don't have much stairs except at the main entry of the museum. They can take a 4 wheeler till the ticket are and walk up to the museum. There are around 6-8 stairs ( not steep) which leads to the museum so if they can manage that much stairs, they can visit the museum comfortably.
