Mehrangarh Fort

About This Location

Mehrangarh is arguably India's most dramatic fort — a massive citadel rising 400 feet above the Blue City. The indigo-washed houses of old Jodhpur below create a unique blue-and-stone color palette. The fort's ornate palaces, Sheesh Mahal, pearl court, and flower court offer endless shooting opportunities. The blue city rooftop views with the fort looming behind are world-famous.
