Mehrangarh Fort is Jodhpur’s landmark. Let me make you aware that it’s not just a fort. It’s a domineering impression, an iconic footprint of the times gone by. Thus, the experience of visiting it is something more than the usual feeling of visiting a monument. The first thing that will amaze you about the fort is its massiveness. Yes, it’s huge!
I started my walk inside the fort at around five in the evening, when the sun was still very bright. It took me a while to reach the very end of it, the top of it from where you can have an overview of the city of Jodhpur. There are quite a few things to glance at – a distant view of Umaid Bhawan Palace, Clock Tower and the Blue City.
I am so excited to take you on a pictorial tour of the most impressive fort I have ever seen! Here it is –
