Mehrangarh Fort

Following a delicious lunch with the Rotary Club of Jodhpur Mid Town, some of the team members visited one of the largest forts in India – the Mehrangarh Fort.  Standing at 122 metres above the city of Jodhpur and enclosed by imposing thick walls, this dominating building can be seen from all corners of the city and offers the most spectacular 360o views.  This fort has a total of 7 gates and is known for its intricate designs and expansive courtyards.  After an enriching and exciting day, team members enjoyed dinner with their host families.
