The Jodhpur is the collection of fort, palaces, memorials and temples of the Marwar dynasty. The majestic Mehrangarh fort, the centaphs of Jaswanth thada, Ummaid bhawan palace and old cenotaphs of Mandore garden are classic structures which sing the wealth of Marwar kingdom in their time.
Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur- August Of Marwar
The maintenance reminds me Hampton Court palace of Tudor Dynasty in London, where it feels King still lives there. One of the best preserved forts of India.
Jaisalmer – Things to do in 4 days
There are about no less than 15 landmark worth seeing monuments and at least 3 full days are needed to visit these. This includes one day stay at desert camp and activities in sand dunes like jeep safari , camel riding and folk dance. Fort needs half day.
Khaba Fort Jaisalmer – A Silent Bird in Desert
Khaba Fort may fall below your expectation and you may curse me to hype this fort for visitors. These places were once throb of life, bustling when Silk Route was alive. We can not expect the disco here or some miraculous scenery. These are barren land and come prepared to listen the breath of desert, golden sand around all the paths, no human life around, cactus, bushes and only few trees scattered.
Kuldhara Deserted Village – Mini Pompeii Of India
Visit to Jaisalmer can not complete until we see Kuldhara and Khaba Fort in utskirts of Jaisalmer.
Kuldhara, 22 KM from is a abandoned 200 years ago. I think no where in India we can get this unique scene of hundreds of houses deserted. This was a rare experience to see and I think more I will not see except at this place.
Jaisalmer Fort – UNESCO World Heritage
This fort was declared UNESCO World Heritage in 2013. It is not magnificent and as glamourous as Mughal forts yet, it enjoys the privilege of being the one of the very few living forts in world. The streets are bustling with people and shops, houses owned hereditarily. The old parts are maintained very neat and enough space for tourists to enjoy the antiquity of period of maharajas. Do not miss to hire a guide and see Raja and Rani mahal.
