Jodhpur

The Mejranfarh Fort in Jodpur (top pic) was built in 1459 & is considered the best preserved fortress in India. It sits very impressively on top of an invincible, 400+ feet perpendicular cliff above Jodhpur! Center pic is above the area just inside the fort's main gate which is really a 2nd gate to the left in pic.
The bottom pic is of the very old "blue city" of Jodhpur. These homes & shops were built by & are still occupied by Brahmims <- the teachers, accountants, architects, etc in the caste system.. They have always painted their homes indigo blue using natural colors (indigo). Because natural indigo paints are so expensive now - many now use modern synthetic paints. Also note part of the fortress wall in bottom of this pic. The wall which surrounds the base of the fortress is almost 10 miles long!
Btw - I am not including pics of the many other temples, shrines, etc that I have seen/visited. Many of these don't allow pics & those that do aren't very interesting.

Udaipur to Jodhpur

This morning left Udaipur for a 300KM (180 mi), 5-hour drive to Jodhpur where I am staying for just 1 night at the Hotel Ajit Bhawan Palace built in 1927 - another Heritage Hotel.
Top pic is main entrance to hotel - for other hotel pics see www.ajitbhawan.com/ then click Ajit Bhawan.
Bottom 2 pics are of 1 of many camel caravans I've seen the past few days on the major roads. This one had about 20 camels as well as goat,/donkey/sheep herds & many dogs moving with it. These people are nomadic & during the monsoon move their entire villages every 2-3 weeks.
Btw - in previous update I forgot to mention & some of you have reminded me that portions of the James Bond movie "Octopussy" were filmed in Udaipur. Several cafes/restaurants in Udaipur show the CD every night!
