The Citadel Above the Blue City Mehrangarh is one of the largest forts in India, founded in 1459 by Rao Jodha in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, rising 120 metres on a sheer rock escarpment above the blue old city. It contains palaces — Moti Mahal, Phool Mahal, Sheesh Mahal — and one of the best-curated fort museums in the country, with the city of Jodhpur spread beneath its ramparts.

November sits in the peak — pushkar camel fair window for Jodhpur — 13–28°C, dry, cool nights, with soft golden. Very high — Pushkar fair drives demand region-wide. If Pushkar is on the itinerary, book 6+ months ahead.
