First view of Mehrangarh

I had to visit Jodhpur in the first week of January with my wife and son to attend a marrige ceremony in my relation.I reach my relative's house and found the house full of relatives& friends i thought it prudent to go to terrace and have view of the place around.Very soon my son came up with two french girls who were tourist and wish to have some pictures from the roof top.They were very curious tourists and took many pics from this roof as Mehrangarh Fort looks very beautifull from here.I decided to visit this fort next morning with my 8 years old son Ishaan.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Beutifull fort and palace, special marwar food, dance &music
  • Cons:too hot in after noon
  • In a nutshell:A must visit for dance,food and munument lover
  • Last visit to Jodhpur: Jan 2005

    The Mandore garden looks beautiful, Uma. I’ll probably be in Jodhpur soon and take time to visit this. And the MeranGahr Fort, of course (is the light better evenings or mornings?) Thanks for this nice tour and tips. Cheers from Europe.

    MehranGarh Fort looks like a majestic place where one can even learn a little magic perhaps? ;-)
