About 35 kms from Jodhpur, Luni is a charming village that reflects the royal past of Rajasthan. The artisans inhabiting the village are still pursuing their ancestral profession of fashioning metal, clay or wood into intricate forms.
The village, a quiet, unassuming place, is perfect for those stopovers. Located on the bed of river Luni, the village is a mirror image of the desert nearby - always peaceful, yet so vast and mysterious.
Lying on the bed of River Luni, the village is a neighbor of the Thar Desert and is just 35 kilometers from Jodhpur.
MAIN ATTRACTIONS
Luni Fort
Carved out of the famous red sandstone of Jodhpur, Fort Chanwa of Luni is an exceptional example of Indian architecture. One is expected to sing praises of the master craftsmanship after visiting the fort.
Composed of a lyrical complex of courtyards, towers, waterwheels, passages and panoramic rooftops, the fort spans the village below and the Thar horizon beyond. The fort reminds of a bygone era.
Ornately carved latticework friezes and intricate jherokas are bedazzling, to say the least. Although the fort has been converted into a heritage hotel, it still remains a 'must-see' tourist destination in Rajasthan.
