The Fort & More
Jodhpur is known for it’s fascinating Mehrangarh Fort, which hovers over the city on a hilltop. Built in 1459 in red stand stone, it is amongst the most imposing fort’s in Rajasthan spread over 5 kms ! Visit the Chokelao Bagh and the Mehrangarh Museum with it’s various interesting sections. This is followed by a visit to the Jaswant Thada which is at the base of the Fort. Built in the late 1800s, this beautiful structure built in white marble is still used as the cremation ground for the royal family of Mewar. And finally a visit to Ghanta Ghar or Clock Tower, which is set amongst the 7,000 odd small shops which make the old part of the city selling everything you can ask for.
