Jhalamand Circle — the prominent roundabout junction rated 4.3 out of 5 based on 375 community reviews on Justdial — is one of Jodhpur’s most important western-zone transit intersections, positioned at the convergence of the New Pali Road (National Highway 62 direction), the Dhandh Road, the Ayurvedic College Road, and the residential road network serving the Vayu Vihar, Bhatinda, Basni, Prithviraj Nagar, and Jhalamand village belt. Located in PIN 342005 within the Jodhpur Assembly Constituency, the circle sits on the western approach of Jodhpur city — flanked by the Indian Air Force Area (the Jodhpur Air Force Station is adjacent, approximately 300 metres from the circle) — making it a strategically significant junction at the edge of Jodhpur’s civil–military boundary. Jhalamand Circle is one of the officially designated RSRTC boarding points in Jodhpur for intercity routes to Jaisalmer, Barmer, Pali, Jalore, and other destinations — confirming its status as both a daily neighbourhood transit hub and an intercity bus pickup point. Bhagat Ki Kothi Railway Station is approximately 1.3 kilometres away — the nearest rail access — and Jodhpur Airport is approximately 4 kilometres north.
