Mehrangarh Fort





This fort is so cool. But getting there isn’t. It sits high above Jodhpur. In the hot mid-afternoon desert heat, we walked all the way up steep, narrow winding steps to reach it. So best believe we were drenched in sweat by the time we got there.

You can see in the 4th pic, the great big door in front of the fort. It has sharp spines sticking out way up high. This was to prevent enemies from using their elephants to knock down the doors. My favorite room, the queen’s room, is in the last photo. I think you can guess why it attracted my eye.
