JODHPUR!! THE BLUE CITY . .

A journey to the blue city was a very exciting trip for me . .there i found that all houses and buildings are made up of stones not concrete,which is the beauty of jodhpur..there are a lot of historical palaces i.e luxurious houses of kings(MAHARAJAS) and
 very famous fort namely "MEHRANGARH KILA" is one of the largest fort in india .This fort is situated 400 feet above the city and is enclosed by imposing thick walls.This fort is one of oldest and beautiful fort of India. Inside Mehrangarh Fort there are many places made of gold and it looks very attractive and beautiful. If anyone visits Jodhpur ever then he/she must visit this place .

AND another super master piece in jodhpur,
UMAID BHAWAN also known as CHITTAR PALACE because it is constructed in chittra hill.
umaid bhawan is like heart of Jodhpur. A dream home for me. Never seen such a incredible structure and very beautiful walls,doors,floors and interiors are just awesome.
