Impressive Exteriors of Mehrangarh Fort





In many Asian countries you get an overdose of temples.  In India, what you get to see as a prime tourist attraction in most places are forts.  Easily the best among the many forts that I saw in India is the Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur.  Its exteriors are impressive, interiors are beautiful, and the views of the city from the fort are incredible.

The staff of Mehrangarh Fort are also very courteous and helpful.  As part of the admission fee that I paid I was provided with an audio guide which was supposed to be returned at another exit area of the Fort.  But I ended up exiting at the same place where I entered the fort.  But the staff were so nice that they offered to return the audio guide to the designated area and retrieve my identification card instead of me walking a long away to the correct exit area.  First time that some kindness was showed to me by locals and this was very much appreciated!
