My suggestion
For incredible views over the city and its surroundings, climb up to Mehrangarh Fort; the panorama their is splendid. When it comes to taking beautiful photos, the best light is at sunrise and sunset. Grab your cameras!

Jodhpur, also known as the "blue city", or even the "city of the sun," basks in sunny weather all year long. A destination with a rich history, that is still obvious today.
My suggestion

I really liked my visit to Mehrangarh fort. It's one of the most imposing forts in Rajasthan, if not the largest. The visit there is very interesting. In addition, since the fort was built up high, the views of the city are astounding.
