Jodhpur

About

Discover Jodhpur

Jodhpur is dominated by one of India's finest forts — Mehrangarh, which rises 125 metres sheer from its rocky outcrop above a sea of indigo-blue painted houses, giving the city its famous nickname. Built by Rao Jodha in 1459, Mehrangarh's walls are massive, its palaces exquisitely carved, and its views across the Thar Desert unmatched. Below the fort, the Jaswant Thada cenotaph gleams in white marble, and the lanes of the old city are threaded with the scent of spices, the sound of cobblers making mojri shoes and the colour of tie-dyed fabric. Umaid Bhawan Palace — one of the world's largest private residences, still partly inhabited by the royal family — stands apart on the city's edge.
