You NEED to visit this place before die
This is a secret spot in Jodhpur city in India named “Mehrangarh Fort” and it’s a MUST to do once-in-life. 😱 The Fort was the residence for the Maharajas. The walls are beautiful decorated with different colors. There is so much going on your brain can’t process. One of the rooms has gold ceiling and it’s amazing to know only the very most important people could enter there in the past. The ticket to go inside was not expensive and the tour took around 2 hours. One of the most incredible buildings I have seen in my life. Do a favor for you and buy you a ticket to India! ✈️

Mehrangarh Fort tops the list of ‘must visit’ places in Jodhpur. It is one among the largest Indian forts. This invincible fort stands magnificently 400 feet above the city. Rao Jodha constructed the fort in 1459 AD. Though the attempt to construct the fort was started in 1459, the fort had seen many centuries before it was completed. Hence, you could find that the style of architecture represents various periods. The grandeur in architecture is awe-inspiring. #givethanks #travelinspiration #couplestrip #historicallandmarks #scenicspotguide #newyearstrip

This beautiful royal building is full of retro style! Photographers must punch card
Every time you stroll in Jodhpur, look up at Mehrangarh Fort. This 30-meter-high yellow sand castle is like a heavenly palace growing from the rocks. It is no wonder that the 16-year-old queen married and was surprised to say nothing.
From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, you have to cross the seven-door. Although it is as big as a labyrinth, it is everywhere, but it is bright when it comes into view. Fan-shaped, curved, octagonal, geometric beauty everywhere.
Tip: The castle is around 9 am, the light is the softest. If you want to come from the old city chartered car, round-trip about 500 rupees. Opening hours: 08

Located in the Old Town of Jodhpur, Mehrangarh was built in 1459 by the Jodhpur prince, standing on a cliff about 125 meters high, surrounded by yellow sandstone walls. Standing on the castle, you can look out over the panoramic view of Jodhpur.
No matter where you are in Jodhpur, you can clearly see its majestic height and be deeply attracted to its noble and arrogant temperament. This is the imposing Mehrangarh Fort. (Melangarh Fort). Built on a huge 125-meter-high rock cliff, the castle is built with hard yellow sandstone and the castle wall of more than 30 meters. It is truly the most spectacular of the many ancient castles in India. In the film "Batman Prequel 3: The Rise of the Dark Knight", Batman escaped from the Dungeon Prison. The background of the scene is the Mehrangarh Castle in Jodhpur, India. It is very shocking.

Melangarh is built on a steep cliff. It is built of red sandstone and was built as a royal palace in the past. It was built more than 500 years ago. After India's independence, it was donated by the former royal family, and the world's talents were able to see its past glory. The castle is protected by seven gates and the horse road is spacious. Each city gate has a short bend of 90 degrees. It is said that this design can prevent the impact of enemy elephants. There are many cannon marks on the wall, and in the past 500 years, the castle stood proudly in the rain of bullets and never fell. On the side wall of a city gate, there are dozens of red handprints, which are said to be the sinister imprints of the later generations when the kings were thrown into the fire and buried in the gates of the city after the death of the king.
Looking at the red handprints, can't help but think of the expressions on the face of the funeral scorpion, is it sad? Is it strong? Is it helpless? Is it yearning? I really want to know if they still believe in love at that moment, and willingly use life to perform a performance art about love. The world is no more than death, but there are always noble reasons to die. Because love is death is a moving tragedy; because the system is dead is an outrageous ugly, but fortunately the ugly funeral system was finally abolished in the last century in India. The most in the palace is the stone, the palace wall, the carved door, the light window, and the exquisite eaves. Large groups of pigeons rushed through the high walls and screamed. There is also a renovated interior with a magnificent jewel, which is the only castle that has been down all the way.

Even in the well-developed Rajasthan state, the Mehrangarh Fort is considered to be one of the most beautiful castles. Every year, countless tourists from all over the world come here for a long time to visit the Meimeibao event

Some people say that he is the reason for the existence of the blue city Jodhpur. Jodhpur is like an inland ocean extending infinitely from here, and from here, people hear the sound like the gods in Olimps. In the same way as the mountains, countless people tell every god in the world below that their voices are clear and independent and will be recorded by the omniscient.
Melangarh Fort, an old castle that has never been broken.
In the blue city of Jodhpur, in fact, no matter which angle and position, you can clearly see its high position and is deeply attracted to its noble and arrogant temperament.
From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the spacious horse path is 5 kilometers long, passing through the seven doors, and the first door has its own story, which is related to each generation of emperors, and each door can feel the continuous experience of his experience. The war, but no invaders opened the door of the castle, so he was also labeled as "an old castle that has not been broken", of course, he is still in the rule of Mughal.
The blue city from the highest point of the Blue City, Mehrangar Fort, such as the infinitely extended blue ocean, is purely the power, luxury and legend of this country, a city, can It is as blue as the sky.
Maybe you will think why there is so much blue here? Legend has it that the blue color is the sign of Shiva. In order to save the earth, the poison of the devil is swallowed, and the neck turns blue. Therefore, in order to commemorate Shiva, the Brahmin people painted their houses in blue to mark their noble status. It can be seen that the Indian caste system is deep and insurmountable.

Jodhpur is the capital of the former Marval Kingdom. The Kingdom of Marval is the largest kingdom established by the Putras in Rajasthan. This kingdom built the magnificent Mehrangarh Castle on the top of Jodhpur. This castle is the most magnificent of all the castles I have seen; this castle seems to be indestructible and unbreakable. In fact, there have been many tragic siege wars here. The 62-year-old Raniusi Yadvi, who still lives in the castle, is the last emperor of Jodhpur. 39 years ago, she only saw her husband before marriage. After marriage, she never showed up in front of other men.

There are three of the world's most famous "Blue City", which is very different from the beautiful Santorini island of Greece and the leisurely blue and white town of Tunisia. Jodhpur is a stunning and heavy city in the desert. When you climb the city of Mehrangarh, the greatest building in Jodhpur, the spectacular blue color will surely make you feel shocked for a long time!
The setting sun has fallen, climbed to the edge of the cliff outside the castle and looked at the old town under the cliffs in the night. The city under the blue shade is magical, like the picture in Harry Potter; Lili also has the same feelings as me. In his work "The Pirates of Pilates - A Sensible Festival", it is written from the Jodhpur Fortress that the sounds heard by people are like the gods. As heard on Mount Lymps, countless people speak to each and every god in the world below. Their voices are clear and independent, and they are recorded by the omniscient.

Mehrangarh Fort, in the heart of the old city of the Blue City, was built on a 125-meter-high mountain in 1806. It was guarded by a solid wall and seven gates. The castle has never been captured in history.
The whole castle is magnificent and the interior is exquisite. It can see the ambition and luxury of the politicians. In the evening, standing on the old castle to watch the sunset, the evening breeze, the crowds of pigeons fly overhead from time to time, time is like Stay at this moment...
