SHADES OF BLUE

Jodhpur

The second-largest city in Rajasthan, Jodhpur, is known as the Blue City for its mesmerising indigo houses that once indicated social class. Winding roads lead to the mighty Mehrangarh Fort, perched 125 metres above the city, from where one can gape at the sea of blue. Navigate the narrow alleys of the city to spot men wearing their signature red turbans, traditional wall art, temples and more.

GETTING THERE: The domestic airport in Jodhpur is well connected to all major Indian cities. One can also drive from Jaipur (353 km) or New Delhi (585 km).
