Jodhpur, capital of the kingdom of Marwar, encapsulates everything that is so brilliant about Rajasthan. The beautifully preserved Mehrangarh Fort, built in 1460, is a magnificent sight and an architectural triumph. Surrounding it is a bite-sized old city enclosed by massive walls with squares and step wells all waiting to be discovered on foot. And yet, amazingly, despite the delights of Jodhpur and its luxury hotels, it is regularly overlooked by mainstream travellers.
