Mehrangarh Fort towers 400 feet over Jodhpur. Rudyard Kipling described it as “A palace that might have been built by Titans and coloured by the morning sun.” It is one of the best-preserved forts in India and the interiors are as stunning as the exteriors. Jodhpur is a charming city and offers a quieter alternative to Jaipur. The airport is just outside the city and has regular flights to Delhi and Mumbai.
