Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India
Jodhpur — the Blue City — is Rajasthan's second-largest city, dominated by the massive Mehrangarh Fort on a 125-metre cliff above a sea of blue-painted houses. It combines Rajput military grandeur with a labyrinthine old city of spice markets, clocktowers, and centuries-old cuisine.
