The Blue city of Jodhpur 

The blue city of Jodhpur offers a panoramic vision of its roofs where the blue dominates. Be aware that it is the color of the Brahmins who are one of the 4 large castes in India.

Sightseeing in Jodhopur

It is recommended that you take the audio-guide who will immerse you literally in the history of this building!! To access the interior of the fort, it must go through a door, after having bypassed the paths in turn. But the spectacle is worth the blow. For information, this system which may seem odd to first view, was in fact a defense! To protect elephants… Yes, ok, this is not the first trick which we think. Grosso modo, when the elephant is launched, it can no longer turn. By putting the door after a small turn it was therefore impossible for the elephants to attack this fort without impetus. Not con !

One decides to go visit the spice market and make a gourmet break in the merchant of omelets on the main square of Jodhpur. Without reflection, we have not really thought about the consequence of this gesture and yet, we have strongly regretted because we have been sick throughout the night.
