Today we visited the spectacular Mehrangarh fort (1459) which teeters above Jodhpur. It is a breath taking building and has magnificent views over the indigo washed houses, the clock tower and the current Maharajas palace that looks like the Taj sitting on the horizon. We wandered around the fort through a series of gateways and corridors, you can see why it has never been successfully penetrated.
We then walked down to the marble cenotaphs of the Rathor rulers (1906) before getting a tuk tuk back down the hill.
Heard lots of noise and music from our room so went downstairs to the hotel entrance and watched a huge procession of carnival type floats and fantastic marching bands. Also watched the dearest little mouse scamper up and down a tree.
