Colours of Rajasthan: Blue & Gold
Jodhpur is blue, it's true . The Brahmin caste traditionally paint their homes this colour, and some non-Brahmins have clearly got in on the act too. As fascinating and pretty as that is, Jodhpur's highlight is the not-at-all blue Mehrangarh Fort which sits imposingly on, and almost blends into, a rocky hill high above the city's (blue) skyline. Mehrangarh Fort We whiled away a fascinating few hours with our new-found traveller friends Marine and Romain exploring inside its history-and-legend-entrenched walls, courtyards and palaces, engrossed by tales of male bravado, honour, and the odd bit of stupidity. And as if strolling around inside the fort wasn't enough, you're also able to fly around its ramparts like Batman on its Boris Johnson endorsed zip-line tour . You'll be sad to hear that Boris didn't get stuck on this particular zip line. Neither did Jo. As for me... well watch for yourselves here . Next stop was the Golden City of Jaisal...
