Mighty Mehrangarh, the muscular fort that towers over the Blue City of Jodhpur, is a magnificent spectacle and an architectural masterpiece. Around Mehrangarh’s base, the old city, a jumble of Brahmin-blue cubes, stretches out to the 10km-long, 16th-century city wall. The Blue City really is blue! Inside is a tangle of winding, glittering, medieval streets, which never seem to lead where you expect them to, scented by incense, roses and sewers, with shops and bazaars selling everything from trumpets and temple decorations to snuff and saris.

October marks the onset of peak season in Jodhpur with weather turning pleasant.

The winter season begins in the month of November and continues till February. During this season, sometimes the temperature can go as low as 10 degree Celsius but does not rise beyond 24 degree Celsius.
