Jodhpur
One of the largest and most magnificently preserved forts in all of India, Mehrangarh rises 125 metres above the blue-washed city of Jodhpur on a sheer rocky outcrop. Its palaces, courtyards, and museum are immaculately maintained, the carved sandstone interiors are breathtaking, and the views over the sea of blue rooftops below are everything the photographs promise. This is the single best fort experience in Rajasthan.
