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 blue cubes, stretches out to the 10km-long, 16th-century city wall. Traditionally, blue color signifies homes to Brahmins and that's why it was once called Brahmpuri.

The best way to explore the impregnable Mehrangarh Fort is my way that is the SKY WAY.

"Shall I tell you the best thing about Jodhpur? It's the zipwires that send you like Batman around the moats and the crenellations. It's stunning" - Boris Johnson, Mayor of London.
