Things to Do in Jodhpur, India

Jodhpur, the Blue City, sits at 258 meters elevation in Rajasthan's Thar Desert, 240 kilometers west of Jaipur. The Mehrangarh Fort towers 125 meters above the city on a rocky outcrop, built in 1459 with 10 gates and 300+ cannons still visible. The old city contains 2,000+ blue-painted buildings visible from 30 kilometers away, the Jodhpuri tradition. Sunset views from the fort show endless blue-tinted rooftops.
