Traveling in Jodhpur

Good blogpost with pictures on Jodhpur: http://traveholic.wordpress.com/2008/10/19/celebrating-culture/

"At Mandore, a hundred monkeys – locals – are waiting along with the tourists - outsiders - for the performances to begin, munching in a distracted fashion on the peanuts thrown their way. To pass the time, they eye our cameras and play hide and seek behind the trees that have grown in profusion all over the garden.

However, the most picturesque venue for the festival, indeed the most picturesque spot in Jodhpur, even when there is no festival is the Mehrangarh Fort. The heart of what was the fortified city of Jodhpur, Mehrangarh was built in 1459 by Raja Rao Jodha (after whom the city is named). In a state where every few hundred kilometres boasts of a fort, Mehrangrah is still something special, seeming to rise as it does out of thin air."
