Inside Meherangrah Fort

First love of the destination wedding enthusiasts, Jodhpur is a regal beauty which exudes royalty from every corner. Anciently architectured houses on narrow roads are a definite treat to eyes. On the other hand Jodhpur is fairly modern too with the growth of National Institutes it has become a hub of students. It is a perfect place for traditional shoe lovers. Jodhpur also has it's fair share of desert. If a trip is planned to Rajasthan, this blue city is a must halt.

Expert tip: There are number of festivals organised by the crown all round the year. Make sure you plan a trip about those days.

Stands tall on a hilltop, Meherangrah is a true beauty. It has that world famous well which was shot in Dark Knight Rises. The fort is also a museum which preserves all kingly items in a great manner. The rooms, armors, palanquins look not even a day old. The shops inside the fort are expensive but really rich in Jodhpuri culture, some money can be splurged.
