Mehrangarh (Mehran Fort) in Jodhpur — view 2
Mehrangarh is a massive hilltop fortress in Jodhpur, constructed in the mid-15th century by Rao Jodha, the founder of the city. Its imposing walls, rising 120 metres above the surrounding plains, protect an extensive complex of palaces showcasing intricate carvings, museum exhibits, and sweeping views of the blue-hued houses below. Allocate two to three hours to explore the fort’s halls, galleries, and courtyards at a leisurely pace. Early morning or late afternoon offers the best light for photography and comfortable temperatures. Nearby, the vibrant streets of the old city and the Umaid Bhawan Palace provide additional insights into Jodhpur’s history.
