Jodhpur: The Blue City, and a Fort You Earn on Foot
We'd ended up in Jaipur once before almost by accident — a Leh flight got cancelled, and Rajasthan became the fallback rather than the plan. This time we did it properly: three nights in Jodhpur, four in Jaisalmer, right through the turn of the year.

Kumbhalgarh Fort — The Great Wall of India: What to See & How to Visit
Kumbhalgarh Fort is situated in the western part of the Aravali Hills in the Rajasthan. Rana Kumbha founded this fort during the 15th century. Built over a period of 15 years under the expert supervision of the famed architect of Kumbhalgarh Fort Rajasthan named Mandan, it is perfectly perched between eleven peaks of the Aravalli ranges. Maharana Pratap was born in Kumbhalgarh, he was known as the great warrior of Mewar, and the royal families occupied this fort until the 19th century. The world’s second-largest wall surrounds the Kumbhalgarh fort, and this is the second-largest fort in Rajasthan after the Chittorgarh Fort.
