Mehrangarh Fort

The Fort, Jodhpur

(91) 291 254 8790

See Website

The colossal fort that was home to generations of royalty is a place of history and mystery. It looms more than 400 feet over the city like a gigantic cliff top castle. Parts of it were built in the 15th century and succeeding maharajas continued to add on wings until the 19th century. Among the highlights of a visit are the incredible stone-latticed courtyards, the ramparts with their city views and the galleries of miniature paintings. The royal family of Jodhpur still owns and manages the fort and many of their heirlooms remain in the rooms, including antique cradles and glass Christmas ornaments. Tip: Don’t miss a visit to the museum shop, which has a great collection of local crafts.
