Continue your drive to Jodhpur and arrive at your hotel by late afternoon. Visit the majestic Mehrangart Fort in the evening.
Undoubtedly the main reason people go to Jodhpur is the majestic Mehrangarh Fort. This is a truly awe-inspiring building, which houses a fascinating museum. After the construction Mehrangah Fort in 1459, the Rajput king Rao Jodha moved his capital here and people were invited to settle in the new capital city of Jodhpur (pur in Hindi means city). Mehrangarh Fort stands a hundred feet in splendor on a perpendicular cliff, four hundred feet above the sky line of Jodhpur. Burnished red sand stone, imposing, invincible and yet with a strange haunting beauty that beckons. Much has been written about the Citadel of the Sun, for truly, it is one of the most impressive in all Rajasthan. So colossal are its proportions that Rudyard Kipling called it “the work of giants”. Today, it is acknowledged as one of the best preserved fort in India. Evening is at leisure at the hotel.
