Rajasthan Trilogy. 3. Jodhpur. Spectacular.
I came to Jodhpur to see only a couple of major sights: the gigantic Meherangarth forth situated on a hill overlooking the city, and the Umaid Bhawan Palace. The rest of sights were less important to me and I was leaving it to fate, how much could be visi... more - travel report by
