Mehrangarh Fort
by Canadienne
Mehrangarh Fort is the most impressive site I've seen in Rajasthan. . .hewn straight out of the cliff and dominating the blue-washed town below it.
I wish I could do justice to describing it, but words and photos seem to fail me. There is more to it than can be captured that way. . .the feeling of the desert air, the cry of falcons flying overhead. . .my first full view of it, from the hotel rooftop on my first morning in Jodhpur, nearly brought me to tears.
Visit the Markets
by lynnehamman
The markets around the Clock Tower come alive at night. There are stalls and small shops selling everything imaginable. Colorful turbans, Bangles, textiles, Jooties (shoes) and Rajasthani crafts. The Sabzi Market (veg market) is colourful, and the spice market has hundreds of types of spices for sale. We never bought any edibles, but I did pick up some glass bangles, which I managed to get home to Australia, without breaking them.
A stroll around this area at night is really fun and entertaining. The locals love to chat.
