• 1. From Jodhpur Junction Railway Station:
• We are a 5-10 minute tuk-tuk ride from the railway station. You can either go out from the main exit and hail transport or take the ramp to the opposite exit at Ratanada. This should save you some time and money, but taking transport to the hostel from any of the exits is easy. Should cost between 50 and 70 rupees.
• Tell the tuk-tuk driver to go to UCO Bank Building near Naman Petrol Pump, Bhati Chowk, Ratanada.
• If you have a local SIM card with internet, you can use OLA or UBER to get to the hostel.
• 2. From Raika Bagh Railway Station/Paota Circle Bus Stand:
• A tuk-tuk from the Raika Bagh Railway Station/Bus Stand should take 10-15 minutes and cost between 70 and 100 rupees.
• Tell the tuk-tuk driver to go to UCO Bank Building near Naman Petrol Pump, Bhati Chowk, Ratanada.
• If you have a local SIM card with internet, you can use OLA or UBER to get to the hostel.
• 3. From the Airport:
• You can either take a pre-paid taxi from inside the airport or get one outside. Make sure to bargain for a good price if you take a taxi from outside the airport.
• We are only 3km from the Airport so you should not pay more than 100 rupees to the hostel.
• Tell the taxi driver to go to UCO Bank Building near Naman Petrol Pump, Bhati Chowk, Ratanada.
• If you have a local SIM card with internet, you can use OLA or UBER to get to the hostel.
• SCAM ALERT.
• We also want to take this opportunity to warn you against some of the scams you need to be aware while travelling across India.
• Taxi / Tuk-Tuk drivers may try to tell you that the hostel is closed or the roads to the hostel are closed and you can not even walk up to the hostel. This is not true.
• The hostel is open and all the roads to the hostel are operational. They may even pretend to dial the number to the hostel and make you talk to somebody who will tell you they are from the front desk of the hostel and that your booking is cancelled. This is NOT TRUE. We would recommend that you keep the phone numbers on our website handy, dial the number on your own and talk to the manager on duty on your own.
• The reason for the scam is to take travellers to expensive hotels from where the taxi / tuk-tuk drivers can make extra money on commissions. Travellers are often sold expensive packages to Agra and Jaipur as part of the scam.
• This alert is just to let you know that the hostel is fully functional and all the roads leading up to the hostel are open. If you are facing such a situation, please get in touch with us directly and we will guide you to the hostel.
• OUR EXACT ADDRESS: The Madpackers Jodhpur, Plot Number 18, Mahavir Marg, UCO Bank Building, Bhati Chowk, Ratanada. Nearest Landmark: Naman Petrol Pump
• We are the blue/white building with UCO Bank ATM on the ground floor. Look for the Black metal gate. That's the entrance to the hostel. Once inside, come to the first floor. We'll be waiting with open arms. :)
