We're staying in the blue city area near Mehrangarh Fort in the colourful Heritage Gouri Haveli Hotel, In a room that's 250 years old. It's colourful and interesting and the staff are super friendly. The view of the Fort from the rooftop is awesome, especially at sunset when the lights go on.
The walk around town is inspiring. The street markets are busy and we spend a lot of time here just wandering the streets.
The Mehrangarh Fort is the grandest and nicest Fort we've seen. The amount of detail here is divine.
The streets set out on the tourist walk are all clean and colourful and it's easy to walk around here. A few streets either direction and you'll see cows wandering, horses in sheds, piles of rubbish and lots of dogs. The gutters and state of the road could do with some work. But that's normal everywhere you go here. It's a dusty place, and very hot.
Enjoying the moment. Next stop, Udaipur.

My India... Jodhpur... put on your shades, there's more blue in here than a paint tin mooving down Cow Avenue. How Bazar comes to mine, as we wander through vegetable bins amid colourful sari's... it's not too late to say. One country. Sipping mango lassi and hitting the roof. Sky... a birds eye view for these empty nesters. Duck, pigeons incoming. (kf2024)
