Then the last part of my North India tour had come- Jodhpur. I reached here at 5 o'clock in the early morning. I got a room near to the railway station and had sleep for about three hours. My plan was to start around 9 am and see only the important places.
Jodhpur is situated midway between Jaipur and Jaisalmer. Mehragand Fort and Ummaid Bhawan palace are the main tourist spots in this place. Jodhpur is also called 'Blue City' because of the blue colored houses in the old part of city. It was the capital of old Marwar kingdom.

The first thing I enquired after getting off the bed was about best means to get around the city. As per hotel guys advice, I hired an autorikshaw for Rs200. He had agreed to take me to two places - the fort and the palace. It took around half hour to reach Mehragand fort. This fort stood on top of a hill overlooking the city. This fort can be seen from almost all parts of the city.
