Jodhpur
Rajasthan · The Blue City
JodhpurJodhpur is dominated, visually and historically, by Mehrangarh Fort — one of India's most imposing hilltop forts, rising sheer above a city whose old quarter is washed in shades of blue.
The fort museum is genuinely excellent, and the old city below it is dense with stepwells, temples and bazaars that reward wandering rather than a fixed checklist.
October to March for comfortable daytime temperatures.
A 5.5–6 hour drive from Jaipur, or a short flight; usually the second stop on a Rajasthan circuit heading west.
