We drove through to Rajasthan from New Delhi last November ....sharing some of the pics of this exotic city ...... we arrived at Jodhpur , our first destination ..one of my fav cities of this region ...its called the ' blue city ' as most homes are painted in beautiful hues of blue ...

The Mehrangarh Fort is mermerising and stands tall above the city ....hmm...approx 410 feet above the city ! the view of the sity from the fort is just breathtaking ! inside the fort you can see the royal collection in all its splendor ...artillery , elephant seats , royal costumes....

i will let my pics do the talking ...

That's Rishi walking through the corridors of the palace ...

view of the city from top of the fort ..

Driving around the outskirts of Jodhpur we came across a small village and lots of small pottery places and i had to try my hand at one didn't i ? :)

oh ! well .....:(

This village was also home to the rural Bishnoi tribe ....the traditional opium tea was being made ...his wife was very hospitable and also showed us around some of the beautiful handloom mats that were being woven in their village ...
